    摘要: A reliable and mechanical strong interconnect structure is provided that does not include gouging features in the bottom of the an opening, particularly at a via bottom. Instead, the interconnect structures of the present invention utilize a Co-containing buffer layer that is selectively deposited on exposed surfaces of the conductive features that are located in a lower interconnect level. The selective deposition is performed through at least one opening that is present in a dielectric material of an upper interconnect level. The selective deposition is performed by electroplating or electroless plating. The Co-containing buffer layer comprises Co and at least one of P and B. W may optionally be also present in the Co-containing buffer layer.

    摘要: An interconnect structure including a gouging feature at the bottom of one of the via openings and a method of forming the same are provided. In accordance with the present invention, the method of forming the interconnect structure does not disrupt the coverage of the deposited diffusion barrier in the overlying line opening, nor does it introduce damages caused by Ar sputtering into the dielectric material including the via and line openings. In accordance with the present invention, such an interconnect structure contains a diffusion barrier layer only within the via opening, but not in the overlying line opening. This feature enhances both mechanical strength and diffusion property around the via opening areas without decreasing volume fraction of conductor inside the line openings. In accordance with the present invention, such an interconnect structure is achieved by providing the gouging feature in the bottom of the via opening prior to formation of the line opening and deposition of the diffusion barrier in said line opening.

    摘要: A method is provided that includes first etching a substrate according to a first mask. The first etching forms a first etch feature in the substrate to a first depth. The first etching also forms a sliver opening in the substrate. The sliver opening may then be filled with a fill material. A second mask may be formed by removing a portion of the first mask. The substrate exposed by the second mask may be etched with a second etch, in which the second etching is selective to the fill material. The second etching extends the first etch feature to a second depth that is greater than the first depth, and the second etch forms a second etch feature. The first etch feature and the second etch feature may then be filled with a conductive metal.

    摘要: The problem of poor adherence of a dielectric coating on a patterned metal structure can be solved by forming an adhesion layer on exposed surfaces of such metal structure prior to deposition of such dielectric. According to an embodiment, the invention provides a method to form a self-aligned adhesion layer on the surface of metal interconnect structure within an integrated circuit by exposing the metal structure to a controlled atmosphere and a flow of nitrogen-containing gas.
