    摘要: A method for fabricating a self-aligned diffusion-barrier cap on a Cu-containing conductive element in an integrated-circuit device comprises:—providing a substrate having a Cu-containing conductive element embedded laterally into a dielectric layer and having an exposed surface;—depositing a metal layer on the exposed surface of conductive element;—inducing diffusion of metal from the metal layer into a top section of the conductive element;—removing the remaining metal layer;—letting diffused metal in the top section of the conductive element and particles of a second constituent react with each other so as to build a compound covering the conductive element. The metal of the metal layer and the second constituent are chosen so that the compound forms a diffusion barrier against Cu diffusion. A reduction the dielectric constant of the dielectric material in an interconnect stack of an integrated-circuit device is achieved.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a diffusion-barrier cap on a Cu-containing interconnect element that has crystallites of at least two different crystal orientations, comprises selectively incorporating Si into only a first set of crystallites with at least one first crystal orientation, employing first process conditions, and subsequently selectively forming a first adhesion-layer portion comprising CuSi and a first diffusion-barrier-layer portion only on the first set of crystallites, thus forming a first barrier-cap portion, and subsequently selectively incorporating Si into only the second set of crystallites, employing second process conditions that differ from the first process conditions, and forming a second barrier-cap portion comprising a Si-containing second diffusion-barrier layer portion on the second set of crystallites of the interconnect element. The processing improves the properties of the diffusion-barrier cap and secures a continuous formation of a diffusion-barrier layer on the interconnect element.

    摘要: There is described a method of forming a barrier layer (6, 110) over a surface of a copper line (3, 107) embedded in a dielectric material (2, 100) in an interconnect structure for a semiconductor device. The barrier layer (6, 110) is selectively deposited over the surface of the copper line (3, 107) by a vapour deposition step and the surface of the dielectric material (2, 100) is treated prior to the vapour deposition step to inhibit deposition of the barrier layer (6, 110) there on during the vapour deposition step. Preferably, the vapour deposition step comprises atomic layer deposition.
