    摘要: Interconnect structures possessing an organosilicate glass based material for 90 nm and beyond BEOL technologies in which a multilayer hardmask using a line-first approach are described. The interconnect structure of the invention achieves respective improved device/interconnect performance and affords a substantial dual damascene process window owing to the non-exposure of the OSG material to resist removal plasmas and because of the alternating inorganic/organic multilayer hardmask stack. The latter feature implies that for every inorganic layer that is being etched during a specific etch step, the corresponding pattern transfer layer in the field is organic and vice-versa.

    摘要: Methods of forming a metal line and/or via critical dimension (CD) in a single or dual damascene process on a semiconductor substrate, and the resist scheme implemented, are disclosed. The method includes forming a multiple layer resist scheme including a first planarizing layer of a first type material over the substrate, a second dielectric layer of a second type material over the planarizing layer, and a third photoresist layer of a third type material over the dielectric layer. The types of material alternate between organic and inorganic material. The third layer is patterned for the metal line and/or via CD. Sequential etching to form the metal line and/or via critical dimension using a tailored etch recipe particular to each of the first photoresist layer, the second dielectric layer and the third planarizing layer as each layer is exposed is then used. Accurate CD formation and adequate resist budget are provided.

    摘要: A method of forming damascene interconnect structure in an organo-silicate glass layer without causing damage to the organo-silicate glass material. The method includes forming a stack of hardmask layers over the organo-silicate glass layer, defining openings in the hardmask and organo-silicate glass layers using a combination of plasma etch and plasma photoresist removal processes and performing one or more additional plasma etch processes that do not include oxygen containing species to etch the openings to depths required for forming the damascene interconnect structures and to remove any organo-silicate material damaged by the combination of plasma etch and plasma photoresist removal processes.

    摘要: Novel interconnect structures possessing a dense OSG material for 90 nm and beyond BEOL technologies in which a low power density oxygen-based de-fluorination plasma process is utilized to increase NBLoK selectivity are presented. These BEOL interconnect structures are capable of delivering enhanced reliability and performance due to the reduced risk of Cu exposure and hence electromigration and stress migration related failures. The oxygen based de-fluorination process is such that the plasma conditions employed {low power density ( 100 mT); negligible ion current to wafer surface (applied source frequency only)} facilitate a physical expulsion of residual fluorine present on the chamber walls, wafer surface, and within the via structure; thus, minimizing the extent of NBLoK etching that can occur subsequent to removing polymeric byproducts of via etching.

    摘要: Novel interconnect structures possessing an organosilicate dielectric material with unaltered physical and chemical properties post exposure to a specific resist ash chemistry for use in semiconductor devices are provided herein. The novel interconnect structure is capable of delivering improved device performance, functionality and reliability owing to the use of a chemically and physically “friendly” resist ash process. An in situ inert gas/H2 process achieves minimal chemical and physical reactivity with the organosilicate sidewalls during ashing owing to its inherent make up.
