    摘要: An interconnect structure is provided that includes at least one patterned and cured photo-patternable low k material located on a surface of a patterned and cured oxygen-doped SiC antireflective coating (ARC). A conductively filled region is located within the at least one patterned and cured photo-patternable low k material and the patterned and cured oxygen-doped SiC ARC. The oxygen-doped SiC ARC, which is a thin layer (i.e., less than 400 angstroms), does not produce standing waves that may degrade the diffusion barrier and the electrically conductive feature that are embedded within the patterned and cured photo-patternable low k dielectric material and, as such, structural integrity is maintained. Furthermore, since a thin oxygen-doped SiC ARC is employed, the plasma etch process time used to open the material stack of the ARC/dielectric cap can be reduced, thus reducing potential plasma damage to the patterned and cured photo-patternable low k material. Also, the oxygen-doped SiC ARC can withstand current BEOL processing conditions.

    摘要: A single damascene or dual damascene interconnect structure fabricated with a photo-patternable low-k dielectric (PPLK) which is cured after etching. This method prevents the PPLK damage and the tapering of the edges of the interconnect structure. In one embodiment, the method of the present invention includes depositing a photo-patternable low-k (PPLK) material atop a substrate. The at least one PPLK material is patterned, creating a single damascene structure. For dual damascene structures, a second PPLK layer is coated and patterned. An etch process is performed to transfer the pattern from the PPLK material into at least a portion of the substrate. A diffusion liner and a conductive material can be deposited after the etch process. The resulting structure is cured anytime after etching in order to transform the resist like PPLK into a permanent low-k material that remains within the structure.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of fabricating an airgap-containing interconnect structure in which a patternable low-k material replaces the need for utilizing a separate photoresist and a dielectric material. Specifically, this invention relates to a simplified method of fabricating single-damascene and dual-damascene airgap-containing low-k interconnect structures with at least one patternable low-k dielectric and at least one inorganic antireflective coating.
