    摘要: The invention provides a method of forming a wiring layer in an integrated circuit structure that forms an organic insulator, patterns the insulator, deposits a liner on the insulator, and exposes the structure to a plasma to form pores in the insulator in regions next to the liner. The liner is formed thin enough to allow the plasma to pass through the liner and form the pores in the insulator. During the plasma processing, the plasma passes through the liner without affecting the liner. After the plasma processing, additional liner material may be deposited. After this, a conductor is deposited and excess of portions of the conductor are removed from the structure such that the conductor only remains within patterned portions of the insulator. This method produces an integrated circuit structure that has an organic insulator having patterned features, a liner lining the patterned features, and a conductor filling the patterned features. The insulator includes pores along surface areas of the insulator that are in contact with the liner and the pores exist only along the surface areas that are in contact with the liner (the liner is not within the pores).

    摘要: An integrated circuit with increased electromigration lifetime and allowable current density and methods of forming same are disclosed. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a conductive line connected to at least one functional via, and at least one dummy via having a first, lower end electrically connected to the conductive line and a second upper end electrically unconnected (isolated) to any conductive line. Each dummy via extends vertically upwardly from the conductive line and removes a portion of a fast diffusion path, i.e., metal to dielectric cap interface, which is replaced with a metal to metallic liner interface. As a result, each dummy via reduces metal diffusion rates and thus increases electromigration lifetimes and allows increased current density.

    摘要: Resist developers can attack some advanced dielectric materials such as silsesquioxane materials which can be used as an insulator between a surface of an integrated circuit chip and wiring layers formed on the surface of the dielectric material. By performing a resist stripping or etching process in which a reactant material is supplied externally or liberated from the dielectric material, an extremely thin surface protective covering of an intermediate material may be formed which is impervious to resist developers or any of a plurality of other materials which may damage the flowable oxide material. A dual Damascene process for forming robust connections and vias to the chip can thus be made compatible with advanced dielectrics having particularly low dielectric constants to minimize conductor capacitance and support fast signal propagation and noise immunity even where conductors are closely spaced to each other.
