Abstract: A semiconductor structure is provided. The semiconductor structure includes a first conductive feature and a second conductive feature disposed in an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer. The semiconductor structure includes a first graphene layer disposed over the first conductive feature and a second graphene layer disposed over a portion of the second conductive feature. An etch-stop layer (ESL) is horizontally interposed between the first graphene layer and the second graphene layer. A side surface of the first or the second graphene layer directly contacts a side surface of the ESL. A third conductive feature is electrically coupled to the second conductive feature. The third conductive feature is separated from the first graphene layer by a portion of the ESL, and the third conductive feature also directly contacts a top surface of the ESL.

Abstract: A method includes depositing an etch stop layer over a non-insulator structure and a dielectric layer over the etch stop layer; etching the dielectric layer to form a first hole in the dielectric layer; deepening the first hole into the etch stop layer such that the non-insulator structure is exposed at a bottom of the deepened hole; after the non-insulator structure is exposed, performing a cleaning operation to remove etch byproducts from the deepened first hole, wherein the cleaning operation results in lateral recesses laterally extending from a bottom portion of the deepened first hole into the etch stop layer; depositing a first diffusion barrier layer into the deepened first hole until the lateral recesses are overfilled; depositing a second diffusion barrier layer over the first diffusion barrier layer; and depositing one or more conductive layers over the second diffusion barrier layer.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an integrated chip that includes a lower dielectric arranged over a substrate. An interconnect wire is arranged over the dielectric layer, and a first interconnect dielectric layer is arranged outer sidewalls of the interconnect wire. A protection liner that includes graphene is arranged directly on the outer sidewalls of the interconnect wire and on a top surface of the interconnect wire. The integrated chip further includes a first etch stop layer arranged directly on upper surfaces of the first interconnect dielectric layer, and a second interconnect dielectric layer arranged over the first interconnect dielectric layer and the interconnect wire. Further, an interconnect via extends through the second interconnect dielectric layer, is arranged directly over the protection liner, and is electrically coupled to the interconnect wire.
