Abstract:
For forming an IC (integrated circuit) structure over a conductive surface (208), a hard-mask (252) is deposited on the conductive surface (208) with a low temperature in a range of from about 220° Celsius to about 320° Celsius for minimized formation of hillocks. Generally, formation of hillocks and bubbles from deposition of the hard-mask (252) are minimized on the conductive surface (208). The hard-mask (252) is etched away from the conductive surface (208), and the IC structure (254, 256, 258, 262) is formed over the conductive surface (208) after the hard-mask (252) is etched away.
