    Abstract: A method for improving reliability of interconnect structures for semiconductor devices is disclosed. The method includes forming a contact structure on a transistor and forming a metallization layer on the contact structure. The forming the metallization layer includes depositing an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer on the transistor, forming an opening within the IMD layer to expose a top surface of the contact structure, depositing a metallic layer to fill the opening, forming an electron barrier layer within the IMD layer, and forming a capping layer within the metallic layer. The electron barrier layer has a hole carrier concentration higher than a hole carrier concentration of a portion of the IMD layer underlying the electron barrier layer. The capping layer has a hole carrier concentration higher than a hole carrier concentration of a portion of the metallic layer underlying the capping layer.

    Abstract: Methods for forming semiconductor structures are provided. The method for forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a metal pad over a first substrate and forming a resist layer having an opening over the metal layer. The method for forming a semiconductor structure further includes forming a conductive pillar and a solder layer over the conductive pillar in the opening of the resist layer and removing the resist layer. The method for forming a semiconductor structure further includes removing a portion of the conductive pillar so that the conductive pillar has an angled sidewall.
