    摘要: A method and apparatus for a semiconductor device having a semiconductor device having increased conductive material reliability is described. That method and apparatus comprises forming a conductive path on a substrate. The conductive path made of a first material. A second material is then deposited on the conductive path. Once the second material is deposited on the conductive path, the diffusion of the second material into the conductive path is facilitated. The second material has a predetermined solubility to substantially diffuse to grain boundaries within the first material.

    摘要: Cu interconnect structures using a bottomless liner to reduce the copper interfacial electron scattering and lower the electrical resistance are described in this application. The interconnect structures comprise a nucleation layer and a liner layer that may be formed by an oxide or nitride. The bottom portion of the liner layer is removed to expose the nucleation layer. Since the liner is bottomless, the nucleation layer is exposed during Cu deposition and serves to catalyze copper nucleation and enable selective growth of copper near the bottom (where the nucleation layer is exposed), rather than near the liner sidewalls. Thus, copper may be selectively grown with a bottom-up fill behavior than can reduce or eliminate formation of voids. Other embodiments are described.

    摘要: A method of forming an electrolessly deposited copper interconnect while reducing its electrical resistance comprises providing a substrate having a dielectric layer, wherein a trench portion including at least two sidewall surfaces and a bottom surface is etched into the dielectric layer, depositing a copper seed layer onto the substrate and within the trench portion, attaching a layer of a metal catalyst to the substrate and within the trench portion using a coupling agent, applying ultraviolet radiation to the trench portion to detach the metal catalyst from the sidewall surfaces and the bottom surface of the trench portion, activating the metal catalyst that remains attached to the substrate, performing an electroless plating process to deposit copper into the trench portion, and planarizing the deposited copper to form an interconnect. The result is a copper interconnect that is not contaminated with a metal catalyst that may increase its electrical resistance.

    摘要: A method for forming dual salicide contacts includes depositing a low or mid-gap work function metal selectively on an NMOS source/drain (S/D) region of a semiconductor device via electroless deposition; depositing a high work function metal selectively over the low work function metal and a PMOS source/drain (S/D) region of a semiconductor device via electroless deposition; annealing the semiconductor device to form a silicide of the low work function metal over the NMOS source/drain (S/D) region and a silicide of the high work function metal over the PMOS source/drain (S/D) region; and performing a SALICIDE etch to remove the unreacted metals from all regions of the substrate.
