    摘要: Methods of forming metal interconnect structures include forming a first electrically insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate and forming a second electrically insulating layer on the first electrically insulating layer. The second and first electrically insulating layers are selectively etched in sequence to define a contact hole therein. A first metal layer (e.g., tungsten) is deposited. This first metal layer extends on the second electrically insulating layer and into the contact hole. The first metal layer is then patterned to expose the second electrically insulating layer. The second electrically insulating layer is selectively etched for a sufficient duration to expose the first electrically insulating layer and expose a metal plug within the contact hole. This selective etching step is performed using the patterned first metal layer as an etching mask. A seam within the exposed metal plug is then filled with an electrically conductive filler material (e.g., CoWP). A second metal layer is then formed on the exposed metal plug containing the electrically conductive filler material.

    摘要: Methods of forming metal interconnect layers include forming an electrically insulating layer having a contact hole therein, on a semiconductor substrate and then forming a recess in the electrically insulating layer, at a location adjacent the contact hole. The contact hole and the recess are then filled with a first electrically conductive material (e.g., tungsten (W)). At least a portion of the first electrically conductive material within the contact hole is then exposed. This exposure occurs by etching back a portion of the electrically insulating layer using the first electrically conductive material within the contact hole and within the recess as an etching mask. The first electrically conductive material within the recess is then removed to expose another portion of the electrically insulating layer. Following this, the exposed portion of the first electrically conductive material is covered with a second electrically conductive material (e.g., copper (Cu)), which directly contacts the exposed portion of the first electrically conductive material. This covering step results in the definition of a wiring pattern including the first and second electrically conductive materials.
