    摘要: Devices and methods that can facilitate hybrid sidewall barrier and low resistance interconnect components are provided. According to an embodiment, a device can comprise a first interconnect material layer that can have a first opening that can comprise a first discontinuous barrier liner coupled to first sidewalls of the first opening and a first continuous barrier layer coupled to the first discontinuous barrier liner and the first sidewalls. The device can further comprise a second interconnect material layer coupled to the first interconnect material layer, the second interconnect material layer can have a second opening that can comprise a second discontinuous barrier liner coupled to second sidewalls of the second opening, a second continuous barrier layer coupled to the second discontinuous barrier liner and the second sidewalls.

    摘要: An interconnect structure is provided that includes a liner located between an electrically conductive structure and an interconnect dielectric material layer. The liner is composed of a phase change material that is insulating at a first temperature, and becomes conductive at a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature. The liner that is composed of such a phase change material is referred to as an “insulator-to/from metal transition (IMT)” liner. In the present application, an entirety of, or a portion of, the IMT liner may be changed from an insulating phase to a conductive phase by increasing the temperature (i.e., heating) of the liner so as to provide a redundancy path in which electrons can flow.
