    摘要: An interconnect stack and a method of manufacturing the same wherein the interconnect has vertical sidewall vias. The interconnect stack includes a substrate, a metal interconnect formed in the substrate, an etch stop formed on the substrate and the metal interconnect, and an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer having at least one via formed therein extending through a transition layer formed on the etch stop layer. The via is formed by etching the ILD to a first depth and ashing the interconnect stack to modify a portion of the ILD between the portion of the via formed by etching and the transition layer. Ashing converts this portion of the ILD to an oxide material. The method includes wet etching the interconnect to remove the oxide material and a portion of the transition layer to form a via extending through the ILD to the etch stop layer.

    摘要: An embodiment of the invention shows a process to form a damascene opening preferably without hardmask overhang or dielectric layer undercut/void. The low-k dielectric material can be sandwiched in two hardmask films to form the dielectric film through which an interconnect opening is etched. A first example embodiment comprises the following. We form a lower interconnect and an insulating layer over a semiconductor structure. We form a first hardmask a dielectric layer, and a second hardmask layer, over the lower interconnect and insulating layer. We etch a first interconnect opening in the first hardmask, the dielectric layer and the second hardmask layer. Lastly, we form an interconnect in the first interconnect opening.
