Abstract: An example embodiment of the present disclosure involves a method for semiconductor device fabrication. The method comprises providing a structure that includes a conductive component and an interlayer dielectric (ILD) that includes silicon and surrounds the conductive component, and forming, over the conductive component and the ILD, an etch stop layer (ESL) that includes metal oxide. The ESL includes a first portion in contact with the conductive component and a second portion in contact with the ILD. The method further comprises baking the ESL to transform the metal oxide located in the second portion of the ESL into metal silicon oxide, and selectively etching the ESL so as to remove the first portion of the ESL but not the second portion of the ESL.

Abstract: Methods of fabricating a semiconductor structure using a photoresist cross link process and a photoresist de-cross link process are described. A cross link bottom layer is employed during the fabricating process and the photoresist de-cross link process de-cross links the cross link bottom layer before the bottom layer is removed. The incorporation of the photoresist de-cross link process with the usage of the cross link bottom layer provides a cost effective and low defect level solution to fabricate the semiconductor structure.
