    摘要: A new method to prevent copper contamination of the intermetal dielectric layer during via or dual damascene etching by forming a capping layer over the first copper metallization is described. A first copper metallization is formed in a dielectric layer overlying a semiconductor substrate wherein a barrier metal layer is formed underlying the first copper metallization and overlying the dielectric layer. The first copper metallization is planarized, then etched to form a recess below the surface of the dielectric layer. A conductive capping layer is deposited overlying the first copper metallization within the recess and overlying the dielectric layer. The conductive capping layer is removed except over the first copper metallization within the recess using one of several methods. An intermetal dielectric layer is deposited overlying the dielectric layer and the conductive capping layer overlying the first copper metallization. A via or dual damascene opening is etched through the intermetal dielectric layer to the conductive capping layer wherein the conductive capping layer prevents copper contamination of the intermetal dielectric layer during etching. The via or dual damascene opening is filled with a metal layer to complete electrical connections in the fabrication of an integrated circuit device.

    摘要: A method for forming an etched silicon layer. There is first provided a first substrate having formed thereover a first silicon layer. There is then etched the first silicon layer to form an etched first silicon layer while employing a plasma etch method employing a plasma reactor chamber in conjunction with a plasma etchant gas composition which upon plasma activation provides at least one of an active bromine containing etchant species and an active chlorine containing etchant species. Within the plasma etch method: (1) a cleaned plasma reactor chamber is seasoned to provide a seasoned plasma reactor chamber having a seasoning polymer layer formed therein; (2) the first silicon layer is etched to form the etched first silicon layer within the seasoned plasma reactor chamber; and (3) the seasoning polymer layer is cleaned from the seasoned plasma reactor chamber to provide the cleaned plasma reactor chamber after etching the first silicon layer to form the etched first silicon layer within the seasoned plasma reactor chamber, prior to etching a second silicon layer to form an etched second silicon layer formed over a second substrate within the plasma reactor chamber while employing the plasma etch method in accord with (1), (2) and (3).
