摘要: Provided are methods of forming diffusion barriers and adhesion layers for interconnects such as cobalt (Co) interconnects or ruthenium (Ru) interconnects. The methods involve selective deposition of tungsten carbon nitride (WCN) films on the oxide surfaces of a feature including a Co surface. The selective growth of WCN on oxide allows the contact resistance at an interface such as a Co—Co interface or a Co—Ru interface to be significantly reduced while maintaining good film coverage, adhesion, and/or barrier properties on the sidewall oxide surfaces.

摘要: Provided herein are methods of depositing void-free cobalt into features with high aspect ratios. Methods involve (a) partially filling a feature with cobalt, (b) exposing the feature to a plasma generated from nitrogen-containing gas to selectively inhibit cobalt nucleation on surfaces near or at the top of the feature, optionally repeating (a) and (b), and depositing bulk cobalt into the feature by chemical vapor deposition. Methods may also involve exposing a feature including a barrier layer to a plasma generated from nitrogen-containing gas to selectively inhibit cobalt nucleation. The methods may be performed at low temperatures less than about 400° C. using cobalt-containing precursors.

摘要: In some embodiments, deposition processes for ruthenium (Ru) feature fill include deposition of a thin, protective Ru film under reducing conditions, followed by a Ru fill step under oxidizing conditions. The presence of protective Ru films formed under oxygen-free conditions or with an oxygen-removing operation can enable Ru fill without oxidation of an underlying adhesion layer or metal feature.

摘要: A method for depositing a metal layer on a barrier layer includes a) arranging a substrate in a processing chamber. The substrate has been exposed to at least one of air and/or oxidizing chemistry and includes a barrier layer and one or more underlying layers, wherein the barrier layer includes a material selected from a group consisting of tantalum nitride, titanium nitride, tantalum and titanium. The method includes b) supplying a gas selected from a group consisting of hydrazine, a gas including fluorine species, a gas including chlorine species, derivatives of hydrazine, ammonia, carbon monoxide, a gas including amidinates, and/or a gas including metal organic ligands to the processing chamber for a predetermined period to remove oxidation from the barrier layer. The method includes c) depositing a metal layer on the barrier layer after b). The metal layer includes a metal selected from a group consisting of cobalt, copper, tungsten, ruthenium, rhodium, molybdenum, and nickel.

摘要: Provided herein are methods of forming conductive cobalt (Co) interconnects and Co features. The methods involve deposition of a thin manganese (Mn)-containing film on a dielectric followed by subsequent deposition of cobalt on the Mn-containing film. The Mn-containing film may be deposited on a silicon-containing dielectric, such as silicon dioxide, and annealed to form a manganese silicate.
