    摘要: The present invention provides a semiconductor device, including an interconnect and a capacitor, and a method of fabrication therefor. The method includes forming a damascene interconnect structure through an interlevel dielectric layer and a dielectric etch stop layer located under the interlevel dielectric, wherein the damascene interconnect structure contacts a first interconnect structure. The method further includes forming a metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitor damascene structure through the interlevel dielectric layer and terminating on the dielectric etch stop layer. The damascene structures, may in an alternative embodiment, be dual damascene structures. Furthermore, the damascene interconnect structure and the MOM capacitor may, in another embodiment, make up part of a larger integrated circuit.

    摘要: A method of controlling the nucleation rate (i.e., incubation time) of dissimilar materials in an epitaxial growth chamber that can favor high growth rates and can be compatible with low temperature growth is provided. The nucleation rate of dissimilar materials is controlled in an epitaxial growth chamber by altering the nucleation rate for the growth of a given material film, relative to single crystal growth of the same material film, by choosing an appropriate masking material with a given native nucleation characteristic, or by modifying the surface of the masking layer to achieve the appropriate nucleation characteristic. Alternatively, nucleation rate control can be achieved by modifying the surface of selected areas of a semiconductor substrate relative to other areas in which an epitaxial semiconductor material will be subsequently formed.

    摘要: The present invention relates to improved methods and structures for forming interconnect patterns in low-k or ultra low-k (i.e., having a dielectric constant ranging from about 1.5 to about 3.5) interlevel dielectric (ILD) materials. Specifically, reduced lithographic critical dimensions (CDs) (i.e., in comparison with target CDs) are initially used for forming a patterned resist layer with an increased thickness, which in turn allows use of a simple hard mask stack comprising a lower nitride mask layer and an upper oxide mask layer for subsequent pattern transfer. The hard mask stack is next patterned by a first reactive ion etching (RIE) process using an oxygen-containing chemistry to form hard mask openings with restored CDs that are substantially the same as the target CDs. The ILD materials are then patterned by a second RIE process using a nitrogen-containing chemistry to form the interconnect pattern with the target CDs.
