The barrier layer includes a dielectric interface surface region, and a copper interface surface region with at least 50 atom percent of a copper interface metal. In particular, the barrier layer of the invention provides for the electrodeposition of copper or copper alloy directly onto the copper interface region of the barrier layer in a direct electrodeposition process. The process includes providing a dielectric layer disposed on an underlayer, contacting a barrier layer to the dielectric layer, and depositing a conducting layer onto the barrier layer.

摘要: In a multilevel microelectronic integrated circuit, air comprises permanent line level dielectric and ultra low-K materials are via level dielectric. The air is supplied to line level subsequent to removal of sacrificial material by clean thermal decomposition and assisted diffusion of byproducts through porosities in the IC structure. Optionally, air is also included within porosities in the via level dielectric. By incorporating air to the extent produced in the invention, intralevel and interlevel dielectric values are minimized.

摘要: The present invention provides a plastically and/or viscoelastically deformable layer that can be used in conjunction with a low-k dielectric (k of less than 4.0) to provide an electronic semiconductor structure having improved reliability. The deformable layer can be incorporated into various points within an electronic structure to dissipate energy within the structure that may cause the low-k dielectric material to crack or delaminate therefrom. Moreover, the presence of the deformable layer with the electronic structure improves the overall strength of the resultant structure.
