    摘要: A method of fabrication of a sputtered metal silicide layer over a copper interconnect. We form a dielectric layer over a conductive layer. We form an interconnect opening in the dielectric layer. We form a copper layer at least filling the interconnect opening. We planarize the copper layer to form a copper interconnect in the interconnect opening. The copper interconnect is over polished to form a depression. We form metal silicide layer over the copper interconnect using a low temperature sputtering process. We can form a cap layer over the metal silicide layer.

    摘要: An integrated circuit system includes providing a semiconductor substrate having a semiconductor device provided thereon. A first dielectric layer is formed over the semiconductor substrate, and a first conductor core is formed in the first dielectric layer. A stop layer is formed over the first conductor core. A second dielectric layer is formed over the stop layer. A channel and a via are formed in the second dielectric layer. The channel and the via in the second dielectric layer are wet cleaned. A barrier metal layer is deposited to line the channel and the via in the second dielectric layer. The barrier metal layer is selectively etched from the bottom of the via in the dielectric layer, and a second conductor core is formed over the barrier metal layer to fill the second channel and the via to connect the second conductor core to the first conductor core.

    摘要: Interlayer dielectric gap fill processes are enhanced by forming gate spacers with a step-like or tapered profile. Embodiments include forming a gate electrode on a substrate, depositing a spacer material over the gate electrode, etching the spacer material to form a first spacer on each side of the gate electrode, and pulling back the first spacers to form second spacers which have a step-like profile. Embodiments further include depositing a second spacer material over the gate electrode and the second spacers, and etching the second spacer material to form a third spacer on each second spacer, the second and third spacers forming an outwardly tapered composite spacer.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices are formed with a Cu or Cu alloy interconnect encapsulated by a substantially uniform MnO or Al2O3 layer. Embodiments include forming an opening having side surfaces and a bottom surface in a dielectric layer, forming a barrier layer on the side surfaces and the bottom surface of the opening and on an upper surface of the dielectric layer, treating the barrier layer with an oxygen plasma to form dangling oxygen atoms on the barrier layer, depositing a seed layer on the barrier layer, and filling the opening with Cu or a Cu alloy.
