A deposition method for improving the step coverage of contact holes is disclosed. The method includes initially placing a semiconductor substrate on a chuck of a chamber, wherein the substrate has some contact holes. The chuck is firstly adjusted and conductive material is firstly deposited onto the substrate, wherein the direction of the first deposition is about vertical to the surface of the substrate, and therefore the bottom of the contact holes is then substantially deposited with the conductive material. Next, the chuck is secondly adjusted so that it has a tilt angle between the direction of the second deposition and rotation axis of the chuck. Finally, the chuck is continuously rotated and the conductive material is secondly deposited onto the substrate, and therefore the sidewall of the contact holes is then substantially deposited with the conductive material.

A method of forming bonding pad commences by forming a conformal barrier layer on a provided inter-metal dielectric layer. A first metal layer is formed on the barrier layer to partially fill the trench. A thin glue layer is formed on the first metal layer. A second metal layer is formed on the glue layer to fill the trench. The second metal layer, the glue layer, the first metal layer and the barrier layer are partially removed to expose the dielectric layer. A bonding pad structure is thus formed in the trench. The bonding pad structure comprises a first metal pad and a second metal pad.

A method of fabricating a copper capping layer. A silicon rich nitride layer is formed on an exposed copper layer. Since the silicon rich nitride layer has more dangling bonds inside, the silicon in the silicon rich nitride layer easily reacts with the copper and a copper silicide layer is formed between the copper and the silicon rich nitride layer. Therefore, adhesion of the copper and the silicon rich nitride layer can be improved.

A method for fabricating a metal interconnect structure. A semiconductor substrate comprising a conductive layer therein is provided. A dielectric layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. A part of the dielectric layer is removed to form a dual damascene opening and a trench therein, wherein the dual damascene opening exposes the conductive layer. The trench is larger than the dual damascene opening. A conformal barrier layer is formed on the dielectric layer. A conformal metal layer is formed on the barrier layer to fill the dual damascene opening and to partially fill the trench. The metal layer positioned in the trench has a thickness equal to the depth of the trench. A conformal cap layer is formed on the metal layer. A CMP process is performed to remove the cap layer, the metal layer and the barrier layer outside the trench and outside the dual damascene opening.

A method for manufacturing a via structure comprising the steps of providing a semiconductor substrate, and then forming conductive line and dielectric layer over the substrate. Next, a photolithographic and a first etching operation are conducted so that an opening in the dielectric layer exposing the conductive line surface is formed. The first etching operation uses several etchants including fluorobutane, which has the highest concentration. Since there is a re-entrance structure at the bottom of the opening, a second etching operation is performed. In the second etching operation, a portion of the conductive line is etched for a fixed time interval to control the degree of etching. Consequently, a slanting surface is formed at the bottom of the opening and the re-entrance structure is eliminated. With a planarized bottom, step coverage of subsequently deposited material is increased.

The supportive metallic layers connect with each other via a plurality of plugs. Furthermore, the mechanical support structure connects with a non-device section of the substrate so that stresses on the bonding pads are distributed evenly through the substrate.
