摘要: Methods of etching a metal layer and a metal-containing barrier layer to a predetermined depth are described. In some embodiments, the metal layer and metal-containing barrier layer are formed on a substrate with a first dielectric and a second dielectric thereon. The metal layer and the metal-containing barrier layer formed within a feature in the first dielectric and the second dielectric. In some embodiments, the metal layer and metal-containing barrier layer can be sequentially etched from a feature formed in a dielectric material. In some embodiments, the sidewalls of the feature formed in a dielectric material are passivated to change the adhesion properties of the dielectric material.

摘要: Apparatuses and methods to provide a fully self-aligned via are described. Some embodiments of the disclosure utilize a cap layer to protect an insulating layer in order to minimize bowing of the side walls during metal recess in a fully self-aligned via. The cap layer can be selectively removed, thus increasing the aspect ratio, by exposing the substrate to a hot phosphoric acid solution.

摘要: A first metallization layer comprising a set of first conductive lines that extend along a first direction on a first insulating layer on a substrate. A second insulating layer is on the first insulating layer. A second metallization layer comprises a set of second conductive lines on a third insulating layer and on the second insulating layer above the first metallization layer. The set of second conductive lines extend along a second direction that crosses the first direction at an angle. A via between the first metallization layer and the second metallization layer. The via is self-aligned along the second direction to one of the first conductive lines.

摘要: Apparatuses and methods to provide a fully self-aligned via are described. Some embodiments of the disclosure provide an electronic device having a liner that is selectively removable when compared to conductive lines. The liner may be selectively removed by utilizing one or more of a base (e.g. sodium hydroxide) and hydrogen peroxide.

摘要: Apparatuses and methods to provide a fully self-aligned via are described. Some embodiments of the disclosure provide an electronic device having a bridging via between a first metallization and a third metallization layer, the bridging via not contacting a second metallization layers. Methods of providing self-aligned bridging vias are also described.

摘要: Methods and apparatus to form fully self-aligned vias are described. Portions of first conductive lines are recessed in a first insulating layer on a substrate. A first metal film is formed in the recessed portions of the first conductive lines and pillars are formed from the first metal film. A second insulating layer is deposited around the pillars. The pillars are removed to form vias in the second insulating layer. A third insulating layer is deposited in the vias and an overburden is formed on the second insulating layer. Portions of the overburden are selectively etched from the second insulating layer to expose the second insulating layer and the filled vias and leaving portions of the third insulating layer on the second insulating layer. The third insulating layer is etched from the filled vias to form a via opening to the first conductive line.

摘要: Methods and apparatus to form fully self-aligned vias are described. First conductive lines are recessed in a first insulating layer on a substrate. A first metal film is formed in the recessed first conductive lines and pillars are formed from the first metal film. Some of the pillars are selectively removed and a second insulating layer is deposited around the remaining pillar. The remaining pillars are removed to form vias in the second insulating layer. A third insulating layer is deposited in the vias and an overburden is formed on the second insulating layer. Portions of the overburden are selectively etched from the second insulating layer to expose the second insulating layer and the filled vias and leaving portions of the third insulating layer on the second insulating layer. The third insulating layer is etched from the filled vias to form a via opening to the first conductive line.
