Abstract: Integrated circuit interconnect structures including an interconnect line metallization feature subjected to one or more chalcogenation techniques to form a cap may reduce line resistance. A top portion of a bulk line material may be advantageously crystallized into a metal chalcogenide cap with exceptionally large crystal structure. Accordingly, chalcogenation of a top portion of a bulk material can lower scattering resistance of an interconnect line relative to alternatives where the bulk material is capped with an alternative material, such as an amorphous dielectric or a fine grained metallic or graphitic material.

Abstract: An example relates to an integrated circuit including a semiconductor substrate, and a wiring layer stack located on the semiconductor substrate. The integrated circuit further includes a transistor embedded in the wiring layer stack. The transistor includes an embedded layer. The embedded layer has a thickness of less than 10 nm. The embedded layer includes at least one two-dimensional crystalline layer including more than 10% metal atoms. Further examples relate to methods for forming integrated circuits.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing cladded metal interconnects. Given an interconnect trench, a barrier layer is conformally deposited onto the bottom and sidewalls of the trench. A first layer of a bilayer adhesion liner is selectively deposited on the barrier layer, and a second layer of the bilayer adhesion liner is selectively deposited on the first layer. An interconnect metal is deposited into the trench above the bilayer adhesion liner. Any excess interconnect metal is recessed to get the top surface of the interconnect metal to a proper plane. Recessing the excess interconnect metal may include recessing previously deposited excess adhesion liner and barrier layer materials. The exposed top surface of the interconnect metal in the trench is then capped with the bilayer adhesion liner materials to provide a cladded metal interconnect core. In some embodiments, the adhesion liner is a single layer adhesion liner.

Abstract: Integrated circuit interconnect structures including an interconnect metallization feature with a barrier material comprising a metal and a chalcogen. Introduction of the chalcogen may improve diffusion barrier properties at a given barrier material layer thickness with increasing the barrier layer thickness. A barrier material, such as TaN, may be deposited at minimal thickness, and doped with a chalcogen before or after one or more fill materials are deposited over the barrier material. During thermal processing mobile chalcogen impurities may collect within regions within the barrier material to high enough concentrations for at least a portion of the barrier material to be converted into a metal chalcogenide layer. The metal chalcogenide layer may have greater crystallinity than a remainder of the barrier layer.

Abstract: A transistor structure includes a layer of active material on a base. The base can be insulator material in some cases. The layer has a channel region between a source region and a drain region. A gate structure is in contact with the channel region and includes a gate electrode and a gate dielectric, where the gate dielectric is between the gate electrode and the active material. An electrical contact is on one or both of the source region and the drain region. The electrical contact has a larger portion in contact with a top surface of the active material and a smaller portion extending through the layer of active material into the base. The active material may be, for example, a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) in some embodiments.

Abstract: IC interconnect structures including subtractively patterned features. Feature ends may be defined through multiple patterning of multiple cap materials for reduced misregistration. Subtractively patterned features may be lines integrated with damascene vias or with subtractively patterned vias, or may be vias integrated with damascene lines or with subtractively patterned lines. Subtractively patterned vias may be deposited as part of a planar metal layer and defined currently with interconnect lines. Subtractively patterned features may be integrated with air gap isolation structures. Subtractively patterned features may be include a barrier material on the bottom, top, or sidewall. A bottom barrier of a subtractively patterned features may be deposited with an area selective technique to be absent from an underlying interconnect feature. A barrier of a subtractively patterned feature may comprise graphene or a chalcogenide of a metal in the feature or in a seed layer.

Abstract: Integrated circuit interconnect structures including a metallization line with a bottom barrier material, and a metallization via lacking a bottom barrier material. Barrier material at a bottom of the metallization line may, along with barrier material on a sidewall of the metallization line, mitigate the diffusion or migration of fill metal from the line. An absence of barrier material at a bottom of the via may reduce via resistance and/or facilitate the use of a highly resistive barrier material that may enhance the scalability of interconnect structures. A number of masking materials and patterning techniques may be integrated into a dual damascene interconnect process to provide for both a barrier material and a low resistance via unburden by the barrier material.
