A process for fabricating an interconnect for contact holes includes forming contact holes in an insulation layer leading to a first interconnect layer, cleaning the hole surface, forming a barrier layer on the hole surface, forming an AlGeCu-containing second interconnect layer on the insulation surface by a low-temperature PVD process to fill up the contact holes, forming and patterning a mask layer, and patterning the second interconnect layer by an anisotropic etching process using the mask layer. Due to the relatively small grain sizes and precipitations that are formed in the process, the layer can be patterned directly in a subsequent patterning step, resulting in an extremely reliable and inexpensive interconnect that is easy to integrate in existing process sequences.

A process for producing aluminum-filled contact holes in a wafer is disclosed. The process uses a coating installation that includes a plurality of vacuum-processing chambers that are coupled to one another via at least one transfer chamber with an associated handler for transferring the wafers. The preferred process including forming the contact holes and depositing a barrier layer. The wafer is cooled to ambient temperature. A cold aluminum PVD coating process can then be carried out in a PVD-aluminum ESC chamber. After the wafer is heated (e.g., to a temperature of less than about 450° C.), a hot aluminum PVD deposition process is carried out in the PVD-aluminum ESC chamber.

A gate structure includes a gate electrode layer stack with a doped polysilicon layer and a gate metal layer. Between the doped polysilicon layer and the gate metal layer is a barrier layer made of metal nitride for suppressing a chemical reaction between metal and silicon. A contact layer made of metal and covering the polysilicon layer is provided on the polysilicon layer to prevent nitriding of the polysilicon layer and to reduce contact resistance. The contact layer includes titanium and the barrier layer includes titanium nitride. Since titanium nitride is chemically and thermally stable, the nitrogen remains fixedly bound in the barrier layer, which reduces the probability of a nitriding of the polysilicon layer.
