    摘要: A titanium-tantalum barrier layer film for use in conjunction with an interconnect film such as copper and a method for forming the same provides a relatively titanium rich/tantalum deficient portion adjacent the interface it forms with a dielectric film and a relatively tantalum rich/titanium deficient portion adjacent the interface it forms with a conductive interconnect film formed over the barrier layer film. The titanium rich/tantalum deficient portion provides good adhesion to the dielectric film and the tantalum rich/titanium deficient portion forms a hetero-epitaxial interface with the interconnect film and suppresses the formation of inter-metallic compounds. A single titanium-tantalum film having a composition gradient from top-to-bottom may be formed using various techniques including PVD, CVD, sputter deposition using a sputtering target of homogeneous composition, and sputter deposition using multiple sputtering targets. A composite titanium-tantalum film consists of two separately formed films.

    摘要: An integrated circuit capacitor includes a substrate, a first dielectric layer adjacent the substrate and having a first trench therein, and a first metal plug extending upwardly into the first trench. An interconnection line overlies the first trench and contacts the first metal plug to define anchoring recesses on opposite sides of the first metal plug. A second dielectric layer is on the interconnection line and has a second trench therein. A second metal plug extends upwardly into the second trench. More particularly, the second metal plug includes a body portion extending upwardly into the second trench, and anchor portions connected to the body portion and engaging the anchoring recesses to anchor the second metal plug to the interconnection line. Because the second metal plug is anchored, a depth of the second trench can be greater without the metal plug becoming loose and separating from the underlying interconnection line.

    摘要: A method of making a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming an oxide layer adjacent a semiconductor substrate, etching trenches within the oxide layer, depositing a copper layer to at least fill the etched trenches, and forming a copper arsenate layer on the deposited copper layer. The copper arsenate layer is then chemically mechanically polished. The copper layer may be deposited by at least one of electrodeposition, electroplating and chemical vapor deposition. The copper arsenate layer on the surface of the deposited copper layer inhibits oxidation and corrosion and stabilizes the microstructure of the deposited copper layer to thereby eliminate a need to subsequently anneal the deposited copper layer.

    摘要: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit device includes forming a first metal oxide layer adjacent a semiconductor substrate. The first metal oxide layer may be formed of tantalum oxide, for example. A second metal oxide layer, which includes an oxide with a relatively high dielectric constant such as titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, or ruthenium oxide, is formed on the first metal oxide layer opposite the semiconductor substrate, and a metal nitride layer, such as titanium nitride, is formed on the metal oxide layer opposite the first metal oxide layer. The metal nitride layer includes a metal which is capable of reducing the metal oxide of the first metal oxide layer. Thus, the second metal oxide layer substantially blocks reduction of the metal oxide of the first metal oxide layer by the metal of the metal nitride layer.
