    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a semiconductor device having dielectric material and its method of manufacture. A method comprises a short (≦2 sec) flash activation of an ILD surface followed by flowing a precursor such as silane, DEMS, over the activated ILD surface. The precursor reacts with the activated ILD surface thereby selectively protecting the ILD surface. The protected ILD surface is resistant to plasma processing damage. The protected ILD surface eliminates the requirement of using a hard mask to protect a dielectric from plasma damage.

    摘要: A multilayer interconnect structure for a semiconductor integrated circuit comprising a base layer of titanium, a second layer of titanium nitride, a third layer of an aluminum alloy and a top layer of titanium nitride. All of the layers contained within the multilayer interconnect structure are deposited by in-situ deposition in an ultra-high vacuum deposition system. The different layers deposited in the deposition system are conducted consecutively without a disruption to the vacuum. Although each layer in the multilayer interconnect structure are deposited within the integrated ultra-high vacuum deposition system, with multiple deposition chambers, the deposition of the different layers is conducted at different temperatures. The time to the electromigration failure of the multilayer interconnect structure, caused by the electromigration of the aluminum alloy, is greatly increased by depositing the aluminum alloy layer at a temperature in excess of 300.degree. C. and preferably between 350.degree. C. and 550.degree. C. The titanium layer and the adjacent titanium nitride layer below the aluminum alloy layer provide the interconnect structure with low resistivity and prevent alloy spiking of the base substrate. As a result, a multilayer interconnect structure provided that has improved electromigration reliability and a low resistance, thereby enabling more dense applications within an integrated circuit.
