    摘要: A method of optimally filling a through via within a through wafer via structure with a conductive metal such as, for example, W is provided. The inventive method includes providing a structure including a substrate having at least one aperture at least partially formed through the substrate. The at least one aperture of the structure has an aspect ratio of at least 20:1 or greater. Next, a refractory metal-containing liner such as, for example, Ti/TiN, is formed on bare sidewalls of the substrate within the at least one aperture. A conductive metal seed layer is then formed on the refractory metal-containing liner. In the invention, the conductive metal seed layer formed is enriched with silicon and has a grain size of about 5 nm or less. Next, a conductive metal nucleation layer is formed on the conductive metal seed layer. The conductive metal nucleation layer is also enriched with silicon and has a grain size of about 20 nm or greater. Next, a conductive metal is formed on the conductive metal nucleation layer. After performing the above processing steps, a backside planarization process is performed to convert the at least one aperture into at least one through via that is now optimally filled with a conductive metal.

The methods include forming a wire in a first dielectric layer on a substrate; forming a dielectric barrier layer over the wire and the first dielectric layer; forming a second dielectric layer over the barrier layer; forming one or more patterned photoresist layers over the second dielectric layer; performing a reactive ion etch to etch a trench through the second dielectric layer and not through the barrier layer; performing a second reactive ion etch to extend the trench through the barrier layer; and after performing the second reaction ion etch, removing the one or more patterned photoresist layers, a last formed patterned photoresist layer removed using a reducing plasma or a non-oxidizing plasma. The methods include forming wires by similar methods to a metal-insulator-metal capacitor.

    摘要: An array of through substrate vias (TSVs) is formed through a semiconductor substrate and a contact-via-level dielectric layer thereupon. A metal-wire-level dielectric layer and a line-level metal wiring structure embedded therein are formed directly on the contact-via-level dielectric layer. The line-level metal wiring structure includes cheesing holes that are filled with isolated portions of the metal-wire-level dielectric layer. In one embodiment, the entirety of the cheesing holes is located outside the area of the array of the TSVs to maximize the contact area between the TSVs and the line-level metal wiring structure. In another embodiment, a set of cheesing holes overlying an entirety of seams in the array of TSVs is formed to prevent trapping of any plating solution in the seams of the TSVs during plating to prevent corrosion of the TSVs at the seams.
