    Abstract: Interconnects of integrated circuits (ICs) (100) utilize low-k dielectrics, copper metal lines, dual damascene processing and amplified photoresist chemistry to build ICs with features smaller than 100 nm. Photolithographic processing of interconnects with these elements are subject to resist poisoning from nitrogen in etch stop and hard mask dielectric layers. Attempts to solve this problem cause lower IC circuit performance or higher fabrication process cost and complexity. This invention comprises a method of fabricating interconnects in an IC using layers of silicon carbide doped oxide (SiCO) in a via etch stop layer, in a trench etch stop layer, as a via etch hard mask and as a trench etch hard mask.

    Abstract: By removing excess material of an interlayer dielectric material (207, 307) deposited by SACVD, the gap filling capabilities of this deposition technique may be exploited, while, on the other hand, negative effects of this material may be reduced. In other aspects, a buffer material (360), such as silicon dioxide, may be formed prior to depositing the interlayer dielectric material (207, 307) on the basis of SACVD, thereby creating enhanced uniformity during the deposition process when depositing the interlayer dielectric material (207, 307) on dielectric layers having different high intrinsic stress levels. Consequently, the reliability of the interlayer dielectric material (207, 307) may be enhanced while nevertheless maintaining the advantages provided by an SACVD deposition.

    Abstract: A method of preparing a thin film on a substrate (152, 252, 30') is described. The method comprises forming an ultra-thin hermetic film (40', 71, 622, 762, 812, 832) over a portion of a substrate (152, 252, 30') using a gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) (128), wherein the ultra-thin hermetic film (40', 71, 622, 762, 812, 832) has a thickness less than approximately 5 nm. The method further comprises providing a substrate (152, 252, 30') in a reduced-pressure environment, and generating a GCIB (128) in the reduced-pressure environment from a pressurized gas mixture. A beam acceleration potential and a beam dose are selected to achieve a thickness of the thin film (40', 71, 622, 762, 812, 832) less than about 5 nanometers (nm). The GCIB (128) is accelerated according to the beam acceleration potential, and the accelerated GCIB is irradiated onto at least a portion of the substrate (152, 252, 30') according to the beam dose. By doing so, the thin film (40', 71, 622, 762, 812, 832) is formed on the at least a portion of the substrate (152, 252, 30') to achieve the thickness desired.
