Abstract:
Methods and associated structures of forming a microelectronic structure are described. Those methods may comprise dissolving a metal precursor in a non-aqueous solvent in a bath; placing a substrate comprising an interconnect opening in the bath, wherein the metal precursor forms a monolayer within the interconnect opening; and placing the substrate in a coreactant mixture, wherein the coreactant reacts with the metal precursor to form a thin barrier monolayer.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes an interconnect in a recess. The interconnect includes a liner structure and the liner structure in the recess. The liner structure is breached at the recess bottom feature and a bottom interconnect makes a single-interface contact with a subsequent interconnect through the breach.
