摘要: BEOL and MOL interconnect structures with a self-forming sidewall barrier layer are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming an interconnect structure includes: patterning a feature(s) in a dielectric; selectively forming a metal layer at a bottom of the at least one feature; depositing a liner layer lining the feature(s), wherein the conformal liner layer includes a metal alloy AB; depositing a metal onto the liner layer to form the interconnect structure; and annealing the interconnect structure under conditions sufficient to form a barrier layer including the component B along vertical sidewalls of the feature(s). A method of forming an interconnect structure including a via and a trench on top of the via is also provided, as is an interconnect structure.

摘要: A substantially flat bottom electrode embedded in a dielectric for magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) devices includes pre-filling the contact via prior to filling the trench with tantalum nitride in a via/trench structure. The top surface of the substantially flat bottom electrode is coplanar to the top surface of the dielectric.

摘要: Techniques for planarization of dielectric topography that stop in dielectric are provided. In one aspect, a method for planarization includes: depositing a first dielectric onto a wafer having a surface topography with peaks and valleys; depositing a second, different dielectric onto the first dielectric; and polishing the second dielectric down to the first dielectric to form a planar surface at an interface between the first dielectric and the second dielectric. Optionally, a follow-up CMP or etch can be performed using a ˜1:1 selective polish or etch to completely remove the second dielectric and an equivalent amount of the first dielectric to form a planar surface devoid of the peaks and valleys in the first dielectric. A device structure formed by the present techniques is also provided.

摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a first portion of a source/drain contact over a source/drain region of a fin-type field-effect transistor (FinFET), the source/drain region being formed over a fin providing a channel region of the FinFET and being adjacent a gate spacer surrounding a gate region of the FinFET. The method also includes forming a first interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer over the first portion of the source/drain contact, the gate spacer and the gate region, and forming a second ILD layer over the first ILD layer. The method further includes forming a second portion of the source/drain contact over the first portion of the source/drain contact in a first opening in the first ILD layer, and forming a third portion of the source/drain contact over the second portion of the source/drain contact in a second opening in the second ILD layer. The second opening is larger than the first opening.

摘要: Embodiments of the invention include a method of forming a multi-layer integrated circuit (IC) structure that includes forming a first dielectric layer from a first dielectric material. A first conductive interconnect is formed having a first conductive interconnect surface. The first conductive interconnect is positioned in a first portion of the first dielectric layer, and the first conductive interconnect surface has a first conductive interconnect surface area. A second conductive interconnect is formed having a second conductive interconnect surface. The second conductive interconnect is above the first conductive interconnect and positioned in a second portion of the first dielectric layer. The second conductive interconnect surface has a second conductive interconnect surface area that is less than a first conductive interconnect surface area of the first conductive interconnect. A planarization stop region is formed above the second conductive interconnect and in a third portion of the first dielectric layer.

摘要: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method that includes forming a dielectric region having a dielectric region top surface, wherein the dielectric top surface is substantially planar. A first interconnect structure having a substantially planar interconnect structure top surface with unintended non-planar regions is formed in the dielectric region. A reinforced planarization process is applied that includes recessing the first interconnect structure top surface to a level that is below the dielectric region top surface and the unintended non-planar region, thereby removing the unintended non-planar region and forming a second interconnect structure having a second interconnect structure top surface that is substantially planar; forming a protective cap on the second interconnect structure top surface, wherein the protective cap has a sustantially planer protective cap top surface; and recessing the dielectric region top surface to a level that is substantially planar with the protective cap top surface.
