摘要: A pillar bump structure, and a method for forming the same includes forming, on a semiconductor substrate, a blanket liner followed by a seed layer including a noble metal. A first photoresist layer is formed directly above the seed layer followed by the formation of a first plurality of openings within the photoresist layer. A first conductive material is deposited within each of the first plurality of openings to form first pillar bumps. The first photoresist layer is removed from the semiconductor structure followed by removal of portions of the seed layer extending outward from the first pillar bumps, a portion of the seed layer remains underneath the first pillar bumps.

摘要: An interconnect structure, and a method for forming the same includes forming recess within a dielectric layer and conformally depositing a barrier layer within the recess. A cobalt-infused ruthenium liner is formed above the barrier layer, the cobalt containing ruthenium liner formed by stacking a second liner above a first liner, the first liner positioned above the barrier layer. The first liner includes ruthenium while the second liner includes cobalt. Cobalt atoms migrate from the second liner to the first liner forming the cobalt-infused ruthenium liner. A conductive material is deposited above the cobalt-infused ruthenium liner to fill the recess followed by a capping layer made of cobalt.

摘要: Methods are provided for fabricating void-free metallic interconnect structures with self-formed diffusion barrier layers. A seed layer is deposited to line an etched opening in a dielectric layer. A metallic capping layer is selectively deposited on upper portions and upper sidewall surfaces of the seed layer which define an aperture into the etched opening. An electroplating process is performed to plate metallic material on exposed surfaces of the seed layer within the etched opening, which are not covered by the capping layer to form a metallic interconnect. The capping layer prohibits plating of metallic material on the capping layer and closing the aperture before the electroplating process is complete. A thermal anneal process is performed to cause the metallic material of the metallic capping layer to diffuse though the metallic interconnect and create a self-formed diffusion barrier layer between the metallic interconnect and the surfaces of the etched opening.

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.

摘要: Embodiments of the invention include a method for fabricating a semiconductor device and the resulting structure. A first set of spacers are formed on the sidewalls of a bottom electrode. A reference layer is formed on the spacers and the bottom electrode. A second set of spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the first set of spacers and the reference layer. A tunnel barrier is formed on the reference layer and the second set of spacers. A free layer is formed on the tunnel barrier, where a width of the free layer is greater than a width of the reference layer. A metal hardmask is formed on the free layer. A third set of spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the metal hardmask, the free layer, the tunnel barrier, and the second set of spacers.

摘要: Integrated chips and methods of forming the same include forming a lower conductive line over an underlying layer. An upper conductive via is formed over the lower conducting lines. An encapsulating layer is formed on the lower conductive line and the upper conductive via using a treatment process that converts an outermost layer of the lower conductive line and the upper conductive via into the encapsulating layer.

摘要: A method which exploits the benefits of a seed enhancement layer (in terms of void-free copper fill), while preventing copper volume loss during planarization, is provided. The method includes forming a partial seed enhancement liner in a lower portion of an opening that contains a recessed copper portion. Additional copper is formed in the upper portion of the opening providing a copper structure in which no copper volume loss at the uppermost interface of the copper structure is observed.
