摘要: A method of fabricating an MRAM device includes forming a bottom electrode over a semiconductor substrate, forming a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure on the bottom electrode, and forming a top electrode on the MTJ structure. The method also includes forming spacers on sidewalls of the top electrode and the MTJ structure, and depositing a first dielectric layer to surround the spacers. The method further includes selectively depositing a patterned etch stop layer on the first dielectric layer and the spacers. In addition, the method includes depositing a second dielectric layer on the patterned etch stop layer and the top electrode, forming a via hole in the second dielectric layer to expose the top electrode, and forming a top electrode via in the via hole.

摘要: A method for forming an interconnect structure is provided. The method includes: forming a dielectric layer on a substrate, and forming an opening in the dielectric layer; forming a first metal layer, a second metal layer, and a third metal layer sequentially over the dielectric layer. The opening of the dielectric layer is filled with the first metal layer to form a conductive via. The method also includes: performing one or multiple etch operation to etch the first metal layer, the second metal layer, and the third metal layer, so as to form a metal line corresponding to the first metal layer, an intermediate metal layer corresponding to the second metal layer, and a metal pillar corresponding to the third metal layer. In particular, the width of the metal line is greater than the width of the metal pillar.

摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a method of manufacturing an interconnect structure in which a sacrificial layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate followed by etching of the sacrificial layer to form a first feature. The metal layer is patterned and etched to form a second feature, followed by deposition of a low-k dielectric material. The method allows for formation of an interconnect structure without encountering the various problems presented by porous low-k dielectric damage.

摘要: An semiconductor device includes a first dielectric layer, an etch stop layer, an interconnect structure, and a second dielectric layer. The etch stop layer is over the first dielectric layer. The interconnect structure includes a conductive via in the first dielectric layer and the etch stop layer, a conductive line over the conductive via, an intermediate conductive layer over the conductive line, and a conductive pillar over the intermediate conductive layer. The interconnect structure is electrically conductive at least from a top of the conductive pillar to a bottom of the conductive via. The second dielectric layer surrounds the conductive line, the intermediate conductive layer, and the conductive pillar, wherein a bottom of the second dielectric layer is lower than a top of the conductive line, and a top of the second dielectric layer is higher than the top of the conductive line.
