Disclosed herein is an ultra-low dielectric (k) film and methods of making thereof. A ultra-low k film has a covalently bonded network comprising atoms of silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen, a cyclotrisilane structure, and a plurality of pores having a pore size distribution (PSD) of less than about 1.1 nanometers (nm). The ultra-low k film has a k value of less than about 2.4 and at least about 28 atomic percent of carbon.

A method of forming a carbon-rich silicon carbide-like dielectric film having a carbon concentration of greater than, or equal to, about 30 atomic % C and a dielectric constant of less than, or equal to, about 4.5 is provided. The dielectric film may optionally include nitrogen. When nitrogen is present, the carbon-rich silicon carbide-like dielectric film has a concentration nitrogen that is less than, or equal, to about 5 atomic % nitrogen.

Multilayer dielectric structures are provided having silicon nitride (SiN) and silicon oxynitride (SiNO) films for use as capping layers, liners, spacer barrier layers, and etch stop layers, and other components of semiconductor nano-devices. For example, a semiconductor structure includes a multilayer dielectric structure having multiple layers of dielectric material including one or more SiN layers and one or more SiNO layers. The layers of dielectric material in the multilayer dielectric structure have a thickness in a range of about 0.5 nanometers to about 3 nanometers.

A method for fabricating a semiconductor structure includes the following steps. A substrate including a dielectric material is formed. A surface of the substrate is molecularly modified to convert the surface of the substrate to a nitrogen-enriched surface. A metal layer is deposited on the molecularly modified surface of the substrate interacting with the molecularly modified surface to form a nitridized metal layer.

Low capacitance and high reliability interconnect structures and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The method includes forming a copper based interconnect structure in an opening of a dielectric material. The method further includes forming a capping layer on the copper based interconnect structure. The method further includes oxidizing the capping layer and any residual material formed on a surface of the dielectric material. The method further includes forming a barrier layer on the capping layer by outdiffusing a material from the copper based interconnect structure to a surface of the capping layer. The method further includes removing the residual material, while the barrier layer on the surface of the capping layer protects the capping layer.
摘要:
A wafer is provided. The wafer includes a dielectric layer, first and second metallization layer interconnects arrayed across the dielectric layer with the second metallization layer interconnects adjacent one another and surrounded by the first metallization layer interconnects and a cap. The first and second metallization layer interconnects have respective upper surfaces defining a first plane and a second plane recessed from the first plane, respectively. The cap is disposed on exposed surfaces of the second metallization layer interconnects and portions of the dielectric layer adjacent to the second metallization layer interconnects.
