摘要: A via structure and methods for forming a via structure generally includes a via opening in a dielectric layer. A conformal barrier layer is in the via opening; and a conductive metal on the barrier layer in the via opening. The conductive metal includes a recessed top surface. A conductive planarization stop layer is on the recessed top surface and extends about a shoulder portion formed in the dielectric layer, wherein the shoulder portion extends about a perimeter of the via opening. A fill material including an insulator material or a conductor material is on the conductive planarization stop layer within the recessed top surface, wherein the conductive planarization stop layer on the shoulder portion is coplanar to the insulator material or the conductor material. Also described are methods of fabricating the via structure.

摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a dielectric layer surrounding contacts over a top surface and bevel edge of a substrate, forming a sacrificial buffer layer over the dielectric layer, removing portions of the sacrificial buffer layer formed over the dielectric layer on the top surface of the substrate, and patterning device structures including one or more metal layers over the contacts, wherein patterning the device structures removes portions of the metal layers formed over the top surface of the substrate leaving the metal layers on the bevel edge. The method also includes forming an encapsulation layer and performing a bevel dry etch to remove the encapsulation layer and the metal layers on the bevel edge. The bevel dry etch damages the sacrificial buffer layer on the bevel edge underneath the metal layers. The method further includes removing the damaged sacrificial buffer layer from the bevel edge.

摘要: A semiconductor device structure includes a metallization stack that has one or more patterned metal layers in a logic area and a memory area. At least one memory device is disposed above the metallization stack. A first level logic metal layer is coupled to a patterned metal layer of the one or more patterned metal layers in the logic area. A first level memory metal layer is formed above the first level logic metal layer and is coupled to a top electrode of the memory device stack. A distance between the one or more patterned metal layers in the logic area and the first level logic metal layer is smaller than the distance between the one or more patterned metal layers in the memory area and the first level memory metal layer.

摘要: A method for planarizing a metal conductor layer embedded in a dielectric layer is provided. The method includes removing a portion of an overburden of the metal conductor layer that is formed over the dielectric layer with a first CMP slurry. The method also includes removing a remaining portion of the overburden of the metal conductor layer with a second CMP slurry to expose upper portions of the dielectric layer.

摘要: A novel bevel etch sequence for embedded metal contamination removal from BEOL wafers is provided. In one aspect, a method of processing a wafer includes: performing a bevel dry etch to break up layers of contaminants with embedded metals which, post back-end-of line metallization, are deposited on a bevel of the wafer, which forms a damaged layer on surfaces of the wafer; and then performing a sequence of wet etches, following the bevel dry etch, to render the bevel of the wafer substantially free of contaminants, wherein the sequence of wet etches includes etching the damaged layer to undercut and lift-off any remaining contaminants. A wafer, processed in this manner, having a bevel that is substantially free of contaminants is also provided.

摘要: Back end of line (BEOL) metallization structures and methods generally includes forming a landing pad on an interconnect structure. A multilayer structure including layers of metals and at least one insulating layer are provided on the structure and completely cover the landing pad. The landing pad is a metal-filled via and has a width dimension that is smaller than the multilayer structure, or the multilayer structure and the underlying metal conductor in the interconnect structure. The landing pad metal-filled via can have a width dimension that is sub-lithographic.
