A method of forming an integrated circuit structure includes providing a substrate; forming a metal feature over the substrate; forming a dielectric layer over the metal feature; and forming an opening in the dielectric layer. At least a portion of the metal feature is exposed through the opening. An oxide layer is accordingly formed on an exposed portion of the metal feature. The method further includes, in a production tool having a vacuum environment, performing an oxide-removal process to remove the oxide layer. Between the step of forming the opening and the oxide-removal process, no additional oxide-removal process is performed to the metal feature outside the production tool. The method further includes, in the production tool, forming a diffusion barrier layer in the opening, and forming a seed layer on the diffusion barrier layer.

A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a dielectric layer over a substrate. A first non-conductive barrier layer is formed over the dielectric layer. At least one opening is formed through the first non-conductive barrier layer and within the dielectric layer. A second non-conductive barrier layer is formed over the first non-conductive barrier layer and within the opening. At least a portion of the second non-conductive barrier layer is removed, thereby at least partially exposing a top surface of the first non-conductive barrier layer and a bottom surface of the opening, with the second non-conductive barrier layer remaining on sidewalls of the opening. A seed layer and conductive layer is then formed and a single polishing operation removes the seed layer and conductive layer.

摘要:
A method for producing a semiconductor-device having an electrical interconnect. The method produces having an improved barrier layer between the interconnect conductor and the dielectric material in which the interconnect recess is formed. A dielectric layer is formed on top of a wafer substrate having at least one contact region. An interconnect for servicing the contact region is fabricated by forming an interconnect recess and then depositing a primary barrier layer of tantalum nitride and subjecting it to a re-sputtering operation. A film layer of tantalum is then deposited and re-sputtered. Following this operation, a seed layer is formed, and then a conductor is used to fill the interconnect recess. Planerizing the surface of the wafer so that further fabrication may be performed may complete the process.
