    摘要: A method of forming a boron carbide layer for use as a barrier and an etch-stop layer in a copper dual damascene structure, and the structure itself are disclosed. In addition to providing a good barrier to copper diffusion, good insulating properties, high etch selectivity with respect to dielectric insulators, boron carbide also provides good electrical characteristics because of its low dielectric constant of less than 5. The amorphous boron carbide is formed in a PECVD chamber by introducing a boron source gas such as B2H6, B5H9+, and carbon source gas such as CH4 and C2H6 at a deposition temperature of about 400° C. Any one, or any combination of the passivation, etch-stop, cap layers of the damascene structure can comprise boron carbide.

    摘要: A method of forming interconnect structures in a semiconductor device, comprising the following steps. A semiconductor structure is provided. In the first embodiment, at least one metal line is formed over the semiconductor structure. A silicon-rich carbide barrier layer is formed over the metal line and semiconductor structure. Finally, a dielectric layer, that may be fluorinated, is formed over the silicon-rich carbide layer. In the second embodiment, at least one fluorinated dielectric layer, that may be fluorinated, is formed over the semiconductor structure. The dielectric layer is patterned to form an opening therein. A silicon-rich carbide barrier layer is formed within the opening. A metallization layer is deposited over the structure, filling the silicon-rich carbide barrier layer lined opening. Finally, the metallization layer may be planarized to form a planarized metal structure within the silicon-rich carbide barrier layer lined opening.

    摘要: A method and structure for forming a damascene structure with reduced capacitance by forming one or more of: the passivation layer, the etch stop layer, and the cap layer using a low dielectric constant material comprising carbon nitride, boron nitride, or boron carbon nitride. The method begins by providing a semiconductor structure having a first conductive layer thereover. A passivation layer is formed on the first conductive layer. A first dielectric layer is formed over the passivation layer, and an etch stop layer is formed over the first dielectric layer. A second dielectric layer is formed over the etch stop layer, and an optional cap layer can be formed over the second dielectric layer. The cap layer, the second dielectric layer, the etch stop layer, and the first dielectric layer are patterned to form a via opening stopping on said passivation layer and a trench opening stopping on the first conductive layer. A carbon nitride passivation layer, etch stop layer, or cap layer can be formed by magnetron sputtering from a graphite target in a nitrogen atmosphere. A boron nitride passivation layer, etch stop layer, or cap layer can be formed by PECVD using B.sub.2 H.sub.6, ammonia, and nitrogen. A boron carbon nitride passivatation layer, etch stop layer, or cap layer can be formed by magnetron sputtering from a graphite target in a nitrogen and B.sub.2 H.sub.6 atmosphere.
