    摘要: An unwanted tungsten film deposit on a Chemical Vapor Deposition chamber is cleaned by adding a mixture of at least two cleaning gases into the chamber at a predetermined temperature and pressure and in contact with said chamber walls for a sufficient length of time. The cleaning gases and reacted tungsten species are removed from the chamber by vacuum, and unreacted cleaning gases are removed by purging the chamber with an inert gas. At least one cleaning gas is selected from the group consisting of bromomethane, dibromomethane, bromoform and mixtures thereof. The temperature of the chamber is preferably at least about 300 degrees Celsius. The cleaning gases in the chamber are at a pressure in the range from about 100 to 200 Torr and the chamber is purged at a pressure in the range from about 200 to 500 Torr.

    摘要: A method for making a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a first conductive layer adjacent a substrate, forming an etch stop layer on the conductive layer, and forming a dielectric layer on the etch stop layer. The dielectric layer includes a material having a low dielectric constant, and a via is formed through the dielectric layer to expose the etch stop layer at the bottom, with porous sidewalls being produced. The exposed etch stop layer is etched using an etchant that cooperates with etched material from the etch stop layer to form a polymeric layer to coat the porous sidewalls of the via. Since the etchant cooperates with the etched material from the etch stop layer to form the polymeric layer coating the porous sidewalls of the via, a separate coating layer deposition step is not required after the via is etched and cleaned. After the porous sidewalls have been coated and polymeric material has been etched from the bottom of the via, a barrier metal layer is formed on the polymeric layer, a seed layer is formed on the barrier metal layer, and a second conductive layer is formed on the seed layer contacting the first conductive layer in the via.

    摘要: A method for dry etching a material deposited on semiconductor device is performed by chemically reacting the material with an etchant gas. The etching process is conducted in a reaction chamber at a predetermined temperature and predetermined pressure within the reaction chamber and without the need of generating a plasma within the chamber or applying an electrical bias to the semiconductor device. A sufficient amount of gas is introduced into the reaction chamber to selectively remove the material from the semiconductor device.

    摘要: A cap or barrier layer that can prevent the migration of impurities in low dielectric constant material, thereby preventing the impurities from attacking conductive elements in subsequent levels of a multi-level integrated circuit structure. The integrated circuit by may be fabricated by disposing the diffusion-preventing barrier layer between a first dielectric layer and the conductive layer at an upper level of the integrated circuit. The diffusion preventing barrier layer may be formed in-situ over the impurity containing dielectric material with the subsequent disposition of a metal layer thereover, and further processing of a multi-layer dielectric structure to include polishing. The in-situ deposition of the cap or barrier layer prevents the exposure of the impurity containing layer to atmosphere, thereby avoiding contamination of the layer by moisture absorption, hydrogen absorption, or the like. In an exemplary embodiment, the diffusion preventing barrier layer is a material containing silicon oxide or silicon rich silicon oxide SiOx, where x is preferably less than 2.

    摘要: A barrier layer for a semiconductor device metallization component provides a silicon nitride film formed in a component recess and a refractory metal film formed over the silicon nitride film. The device component includes a dielectric material and a recess formed in the dielectric. The surface of the dielectric material within the recess is exposed to nitrogen under controlled parameters. A section of the dielectric material adjacent an interior of the recess is converted to silicon nitride. The refractory metal is then conformed deposited along the recess sidewalls. A seed layer is then deposited over the refractory metal film, and a conductive metal is then deposited within the recess. The device is then polished to remove excess metal outside the recess and planarize the device.

    摘要: A titanium-tantalum barrier layer film for use in conjunction with an interconnect film such as copper and a method for forming the same provides a relatively titanium rich/tantalum deficient portion adjacent the interface it forms with a dielectric film and a relatively tantalum rich/titanium deficient portion adjacent the interface it forms with a conductive interconnect film formed over the barrier layer film. The titanium rich/tantalum deficient portion provides good adhesion to the dielectric film and the tantalum rich/titanium deficient portion forms a hetero-epitaxial interface with the interconnect film and suppresses the formation of inter-metallic compounds. A single titanium-tantalum film having a composition gradient from top-to-bottom may be formed using various techniques including PVD, CVD, sputter deposition using a sputtering target of homogeneous composition, and sputter deposition using multiple sputtering targets. A composite titanium-tantalum film consists of two separately formed films.
