    Abstract: Generally, embodiments described herein relate to methods for manufacturing an interconnect structure for semiconductor devices, such as in a dual subtractive etch process. An embodiment is a method for semiconductor processing. A titanium nitride layer is formed over a substrate. A hardmask layer is formed over the titanium nitride layer. The hardmask layer is patterned into a pattern. The pattern is transferred to the titanium nitride layer, where the transferring comprises etching the titanium nitride layer. After transferring the pattern to the titanium nitride layer, the hardmask layer is removed, where the removal comprises performing an oxygen-containing ash process.

    Abstract: Methods for direct deposition of a metal silicide nanowire for back-end interconnection structures for semiconductor applications are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes positioning a substrate in a processing region of a process chamber, the substrate having a first surface comprising a non-dielectric material; and a dielectric layer formed on the first surface. An opening is formed in the dielectric layer, the opening exposing at least a portion of the first surface, the opening having sidewalls. A metal silicide seed is deposited in the opening using a PVD process, wherein the PVD process is performed with either no bias or a bias which creates deposition on the sidewall which is less than 1% of the deposition on the first surface. A metal silicide layer is then selectively deposited on the metal silicide seed using a metal-silicon organic precursor, creating the metal silicide nanowire.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods for forming an air gap interconnect. A metal spacer layer is conformally deposited on a substrate having mandrel structures formed thereon. The metal spacer layer is etched to form spacer features and the mandrel structures are removed from the substrate. Various other dielectric deposition, patterning and etching steps may be performed to desirably pattern materials present on the substrate. Ultimately, a trench is formed between adjacent spacer features and a capping layer is deposited over the trench to form an air gap between the adjacent spacer features. For packaging purposes, an interconnect via may be configured to contact at least one of the spacer features adjacent the air gap.
