    摘要: The present invention utilizes a selective overlayer to provide more efficient fabrication of a dual damascene multilevel interconnect structure. The selective overlayer serves as a protective mask which prevents the upper layer of the composite layer from being eroded during the formation of the multi-level interconnects. The present invention also solves some of the problems associated with the full-via first and partial-via first fabrication methods because the selective overlayer enables an efficient, deep partial via to be formed while preventing the deposit of undeveloped photoresist in subsequent fabrication steps. The present invention also provides advantages during the planarization and polishing of the dual damascene structure after the deposition of the conductive layer because the selective overlayer allows for efficient planarization without loss of trench depth control.

    摘要: An improved method of capacitor formation is disclosed. A dielectric is etched with an etch recipe which creates grooves within an opening. The opening is filled with metal which conforms to the grooves, thereby creating a capacitor's lower plate with increased surface area. The metal is later surrounded with dielectric and metal, which forms respectively the capacitor's dielectric and upper plate.

    摘要: A gas plasma process for removing photoresist and etch residues and other contaminants involved in etching vias in integrated circuit devices is disclosed. The process involves placing the substrate having etched vias or contact holes in a suitable low bias reactor; applying to the substrate surface a mixture of gases at low bias selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine, hydrofluorocarbon and fluorinated methane and amine gases to both remove the photoresist layer and alter the composition of the residues such that the residues are soluble in water; and rinsing the substrate with deionized water. The plasma process should be carried out at temperatures of less than about 100 degrees C to avoid mobile ion contamination problems and oxidation of the etch residues.

    摘要: A capacitor structure is formed in a window in a dielectric layer of an integrated circuit. The lower electrode (or plate) is disposed on a portion side surface of the cavity but not on the top surface of the dielectric. A layer of dielectric material is disposed on the lower electrode and upon the top surface of the integrated circuit dielectric. Finally, an upper electrode (or plate) is disposed on the layer of dielectric material. Because the lower electrode is removed from a portion of the cavity sidewall and top surface of the dielectric shorting problems which could result during planarization are avoided. A technique for fabricating an integrated circuit (IC) for use in multi-level structures is also disclosed. The technique is readily incorporated into standard multi-level processing techniques. After a window is opened in the particular dielectric layer of the IC, a conductive layer is deposited in the window and forms the lower plate of a capacitor. The lower plate is then etched so that it is removed from a portion of the sidewalls and from the top surface of the dielectric layer. After the lower electrode is etched, a dielectric material is disposed in the cavity and on the top surface of the dielectric layer. A second layer of conductor is disposed on top of the dielectric material layer, thus completing the capacitor structure.
