    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for fabricating an integrated circuit. The method includes forming an energy removable film (ERF) on a substrate; forming a first dielectric layer on the ERF; patterning the ERF and first dielectric layer to form a trench in the ERF and the first dielectric layer; filling a conductive material in the trench; forming a ceiling layer on the first dielectric layer and conductive material filled in the trench; and applying energy to the ERF to form air gaps in the ERF after the forming of the ceiling layer.

    摘要: A general process is described for filling a hole or trench at the surface of an integrated circuit without trapping voids within the filler material. A particular application is the filling of a trench with copper in order to form damascene wiring. First, a seed layer is deposited in the hole or trench by means of PVD. This is then followed by a sputter etching step which removes any overhang of this seed layer at the mouth of the trench or hole. A number of process variations are described including double etch/deposit steps, varying pressure and voltage in the same chamber to allow sputter etching and deposition to take place without breaking vacuum, and reduction of contact resistance between wiring levels by reducing via depth.
