    摘要: Damascene methods for forming copper conductors (30, 130) are disclosed. According to the disclosed method, a dual cap layer (18, 20; 122, 124) is formed over an organosilicate glass insulating layer (16; 116, 120) prior to the etching of a via or trench toward an underlying conductor (12; 112). The dual cap layer includes a layer of silicon carbide (18; 124) and a layer of silicon nitride (20; 122). The silicon carbide layer (18; 124) and silicon nitride layer (20; 122) can be deposited in either order relative to one another. The silicon carbide layer (18; 124) maintains the critical dimension of the via or trench as it is etched through the insulating layer (16; 116, 120), while the silicon nitride layer (20; 122) inhibits the failure mechanism of resist poisoning. The method is applicable to single damascene processes, but may also be used in dual damascene copper processes.

    摘要: Methods are disclosed for forming trench or via cavities in a single damascene interconnect structure, comprising etching a dielectric layer to form a cavity there and to expose an underlying etch-stop layer, and etching the exposed etch-stop layer to extend the cavity and to expose a conductive feature in an existing interconnect structure, wherein etching the portion of the dielectric layer and etching the exposed portion of the etch-stop layer are performed concurrently with substantially no intervening processing steps therebetween. Also disclosed are methods of forming a via cavity in a dual damascene interconnect structure, comprising forming an etch-stop layer over an existing interconnect structure, forming a dielectric layer over the etch-stop layer, etching a portion of the dielectric layer to form a via cavity in the dielectric layer and to expose a portion of the etch-stop layer, and etching the etch-stop layer to extend the via cavity, where the dielectric layer is covered during etching of the etch-stop layer.
