    摘要: A method of fabricating an interconnect wherein there is initially provided a first layer of electrically conductive interconnect (3). A via (7) is formed which is defined by walls extending to the first layer of interconnect. A layer of titanium (9) is formed between the electrically conductive interconnect and the first layer of electrically conductive metal (11). A first layer of electrically conductive metal is formed on the walls of the via having a predetermined etch rate relative to a specific etch species and a second layer of electrically conductive metal (13) is formed on the first layer of electrically conductive metal having an etch rate relative to the specific etch species greater than the first layer and which preferably extends into the via. The first layer of electrically conductive interconnect is preferably aluminum, the first layer of electrically conductive metal is preferably a metal containing from about one percent by weight to about one hundred percent copper and the rest essentially aluminum and the second layer of electrically conductive metal is preferably copper doped aluminum having a lower copper content than the first electrically conductive layer.

    摘要: Porous dielectric layers are produced by introducing small vertical or columnar gaps in pre-formed layers of dense dielectric. The pores may be formed by a special process that is different from the processes employed to form metal lines and other features on a VLSI device. Further, the columnar gaps may be produced after the planarization process for a particular layer has been completed. Then, after the pores are formed, they are capped by depositing another layer of material. In this manner, the newly porous layer is protected from direct exposure to the pressure of subsequent planarization processes. In alternative embodiments, the processes described herein are applied to introduce pores into a pre-formed layer of semiconductor to produce a porous semiconductor layer.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device and the device. The device is fabricated by providing a substrate having a region thereover of electrically conductive material, and a dielectric first sidewall spacer on the region of electrically conductive material. A second sidewall spacer is formed over the first sidewall spacer extending to the substrate from a material which is selectively removal relative to the first sidewall spacer. An electrically conductive region is formed contacting the second sidewall spacer and spaced from the substrate. The second sidewall spacer is selectively removable to form an opening between the substrate and the electrically conductive region. The opening is filled with electrically conductive material to electrically couple the electrically conductive material to the substrate.
