    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: Electromigration behavior in complex metallization systems of semiconductor devices may be enhanced at critical areas between a metal line and a via by locally forming a copper/silicon compound. In some illustrative embodiments, the formation of the copper/ silicon compound may be combined with other treatments for cleaning the exposed surface areas and/or modifying the molecular structure thereof.

    Abstract: During the manufacturing of advanced metallization systems, a dielectric cap layer formed on a sensitive dielectric material may be partially maintained during a CMP process for removing excess metal, thereby avoiding the necessity for depositing a dedicated etch stop material, as may be required in conventional approaches when substantially completely consuming the dielectric cap material during the CMP process. Hence, reduced process complexity and/or enhanced flexibility may be accomplished in combination with increased integrity of the low-k dielectric material.

    Abstract: By forming metallization structures on the basis of an imprint technique, in which via openings and trenches may be commonly formed, a significant reduction of process complexity may be achieved due to the omission of at least one further alignment process as required in conventional process techniques. Furthermore, the flexibility and efficiency of imprint lithography may be increased by providing appropriately designed imprint molds in order to provide via openings and trenches exhibiting an increased fill capability, thereby also improving the performance of the finally obtained metallization structures with respect to reliability, resistance against electromigration and the like.
