    摘要: A method of forming a metal or metal nitride layer interface between a copper layer and a silicon nitride layer can include providing a metal organic gas or metal/metal nitride precursor over a copper layer, forming a metal or metal nitride layer from reactions between the metal organic gas or metal/metal nitride precursor and the copper layer, and depositing a silicon nitride layer over the metal or metal nitride layer and copper layer. The metal or metal nitride layer can provide a better interface adhesion between the silicon nitride layer and the copper layer. The metal layer can improve the interface between the copper layer and the silicon nitride layer, improving electromigration reliability and, thus, integrated circuit device performance.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor component that inhibits formation of wormholes in a semiconductor substrate. A contact opening is formed in a dielectric layer disposed on a semiconductor substrate. The contact opening exposes a portion of the semiconductor substrate. A sacrificial layer of oxide is formed on the exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate and along the sidewalls of the contact opening. Silane is reacted with tungsten hexafluoride to form a hydrofluoric acid vapor and tungsten. The hydrofluoric acid vapor etches away the sacrificial oxide layer and a thin layer of tungsten is formed on the exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate. After forming the thin layer of tungsten, the reactants may be changed to more quickly fill the contact opening with tungsten.

    摘要: A semiconductor component having a titanium silicide contact structure and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor component. A layer of dielectric material is formed over a semiconductor substrate. An opening having sidewalls is formed in the dielectric layer and exposes a portion of the semiconductor substrate. Titanium silicide is disposed on the dielectric layer, sidewalls, and the exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate. The titanium silicide may be formed by disposing titanium on the dielectric layer, sidewalls, and exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate and reacting the titanium with silane. Alternatively, the titanium silicide may be sputter deposited. A layer of titanium nitride is formed on the titanium silicide. A layer of tungsten is formed on the titanium nitride. The tungsten, titanium nitride, and titanium silicide are polished to form the contact structures.

    摘要: A non-planar target can be configured for use in a plasma vapor deposition (PVD) process in which ions bombard the non-planar target and cause alloy atoms present in the non-planar target to be knocked loose and form an alloy film layer. The target includes a top planar section having a first alloy concentration and a side annular section having a second alloy concentration. The side annular section has ends coupled to ends of the top planar section. The first alloy concentration and the second alloy concentration are different.
