摘要:
A method of forming a low-k dielectric layer and forming a structure in the low-k dielectric layer includes depositing a low-k dielectric layer over a substrate, performing a first treatment to the low-k dielectric layer, performing post-formation processes, and performing a second treatment to the low-k dielectric layer. The k value of the low-k dielectric layer is lowered by the first treatment. The post-formation processes performed to the low-k dielectric layer include at least one low-k dielectric material damaging process. The second treatment restores the low-k dielectric layer. Preferably, each of the first and second treatments includes a curing process selected from e-beam curing, ultraviolet curing, plasma curing, SCCO2 cleaning, and combinations thereof.

The glue layer is formed of a non-oxygen-containing material capable of providing an oxygen barrier over the conductive line. The glue layer has a hardness greater than that of the conductive line. The glue layer preferably has a thickness between about 15 angstroms and about 75 angstroms. The etch stop layer is formed on the glue layer. The etch stop layer has a hardness greater than that of the glue layer. A second IMD layer is formed on the etch stop layer. The etch stop layer and/or the second IMD layer may be formed with a material comprising oxygen without oxidizing the conductive line.
