    摘要: A structure for a multi-level interconnect inter-level dielectric layer (ILD), a method of manufacturing thereof, and a semiconductor device including the ILD layer. The ILD layer includes a first low-dielectric constant material sub-layer, and a second low-dielectric constant material sub-layer disposed over the first low-dielectric constant material sub-layer. The second low-dielectric constant material sub-layer has at least one different material property than the first low-dielectric constant material sub-layer. A third low-dielectric constant material sub-layer is disposed over the second low-dielectric constant material sub-layer, the third low-dielectric constant material sub-layer having at least one different material property than the second low-dielectric constant material sub-layer. The first, second and third low-dielectric constant materials sub-layers are preferably comprised of the same material, deposited continuously in one or more deposition chambers while the deposition conditions such as the gas flow rate, power, or gas species are adjusted or changed.

    摘要: A new method is provided for the creation of dummy plugs in support of creating a robust structure of overlying interconnect traces. A pattern of holes for dummy plugs is etched stopping at an etch stop layer, the etch stop layer is then removed from the bottom of the holes that have been created whereby this removal is extended into an underlying layer of insulating material. The pattern of holes is filled with a metal, preferably copper, excess metal is removed by methods of Chemical Mechanical Polishing, leaving in place a pattern of metal plugs that penetrate through layers of insulation material and through layers of etch stop material and into an underlying layer of semiconductor material.

    摘要: A bilayer porous low dielectric constant (low-k) interconnect structure and methods of fabricating the same are presented. A preferred embodiment having an effective dielectric constant of about 2.2 comprises a bottom deposited dielectric layer and a top deposited dielectric layer in direct contact with the former. The bottom layer and the top layer have same atomic compositions, but a higher dielectric constant value k. The bottom dielectric layer serves as an etch stop layer for the top dielectric layer, and the top dielectric layer can act as CMP stop layer. One embodiment of making the structure includes forming a bottom dielectric layer having a first porogen content and a top dielectric layer having a higher porogen content. A curing process leaves lower pore density in the bottom dielectric layer than that left in the top dielectric layer, which leads to higher dielectric value k in the bottom dielectric layer.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of forming a semiconductor structure having an ultra low-K dielectric material that adheres well to the substrate. The method includes depositing a low-K material on the top surface of a substrate at a low temperature of no more than 250° by a CVD or spin-on process. The dielectric material is then cured by placing the substrate with the dielectric film in an environment where the temperature is regulated at about 400° or less as the dielectric film is being subjected to a plasma treatment or an E-beam treatment or UV treatment. The environment may further include one or more gases or a mixture of gases selected from the group consisting of H2, N2, NH3, CO2, all hydride gases and a mixture of these gases.
