摘要: Embodiments of the invention generally provide methods of filling contact level features formed in a semiconductor device by depositing a barrier layer over the contact feature and then filing the layer using an PVD, CVD, ALD, electrochemical plating process (ECP) and/or electroless deposition processes. In one embodiment, the barrier layer has a catalytically active surface that will allow the electroless deposition of a metal on the barrier layer. In one aspect, the electrolessly deposited metal is copper or a copper alloy. In one aspect, the contact level feature is filled with a copper alloy by use of an electroless deposition process. In another aspect, a copper alloy is used to from a thin conductive copper layer that is used to subsequently fill features with a copper containing material by use of an ECP, PVD, CVD, and/or ALD deposition process. In one embodiment, a portion of the barrier layer is purposely allowed to react with traces of residual oxide at the silicon junction of the contact level feature to form a low resistance connection.

摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide methods for forming conductive materials within contact features on a substrate by depositing a seed layer within a feature and subsequently filling the feature with a copper-containing material during an electroless deposition process. In one example, a copper electroless deposition solution contains levelers to form convexed or concaved copper surfaces. In another example, a seed layer is selectively deposited on the bottom surface of the aperture while leaving the sidewalls substantially free of the seed material during a collimated PVD process. In another example, the seed layer is conformably deposited by a PVD process and subsequently, a portion of the seed layer and the underlayer are plasma etched to expose an underlying contact surface. In another example, a ruthenium seed layer is formed on an exposed contact surface by an ALD process utilizing the chemical precursor ruthenium tetroxide.

摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a method for depositing a copper material on a substrate by an electroless deposition process and also provide a composition of an electroless deposition solution. In one embodiment, the copper material is deposited from an electroless copper solution that contains an additive, such as an inhibitor, to promote a bottom-up fill process. In one aspect, the field of the substrate may be maintained free of copper material or substantially free of copper material during the electroless deposition process. Prior to the electroless deposition process for forming the copper material, a barrier layer may be deposited on the substrate, and thereafter, a ruthenium layer may be deposited thereon. In one example, the copper material is formed during a bottom-up, electroless deposition process directly on the ruthenium layer. Alternatively, a seed layer may be formed on the ruthenium layer prior to depositing the copper material.
