Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a conductive feature disposed over a semiconductor substrate, a via disposed in a first interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer over the conductive feature, and a metal-containing etch-stop layer (ESL) disposed on the via, where the metal-containing ESL includes a first metal and is resistant to etching by a fluorine-containing etchant. The semiconductor structure further includes a conductive line disposed over the metal-containing ESL, where the conductive line includes a second metal different from the first metal and is etchable by the fluorine-containing etchant, and where the via is configured to interconnect the conductive line to the conductive feature. Furthermore, the semiconductor structure includes a second ILD layer disposed over the first ILD layer.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a structure and method to create a self-repairing dielectric material for semiconductor device applications. A porous dielectric material is deposited on a substrate, and exposed with treating agent particles such that the treating agent particles diffuse into the dielectric material. A dense non-porous cap is formed above the dielectric material which encapsulates the treating agent particles within the dielectric material. The dielectric material is then subjected to a process which creates damage to the dielectric material. A chemical reaction is initiated between the treating agent particles and the damage, repairing the damage. A gradient concentration resulting from the consumption of treating agent particles by the chemical reaction promotes continuous diffusion the treating agent particles towards the damaged region of the dielectric material, continuously repairing the damage.

Abstract: A method includes passing a chemical solution through a metal-ion absorber, wherein metal ions in the metal-ion absorber are trapped by the metal-ion absorber. The chemical solution exiting out of the metal-ion absorber is then used to etch a metal-containing region, wherein the metal-containing region includes a metal that is of a same element type as the metal ions.
