    摘要: A semiconductor device structure includes an MRAM metallization stack. A via is disposed within a dielectric cap layer that is on and in contact with the metallization stack. A liner is disposed on sidewalls and a bottom surface of the via. A recessed electrode contact is disposed within a portion of the via and in contact with a first part of the liner in contact with sidewalls of the via. A second part of the liner is in contact with the sidewalls is above a top surface of the contact. A method for forming the semiconductor device structure includes forming a via within a MRAM metallization stack. The via exposes a top surface of the second metal layer. An electrode contact is formed within a portion of the via. A cap layer is formed within a remaining portion of the via in contact with a top surface of the electrode contact.

    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.
