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.

摘要: The present disclosure describes a method utilizing an ion beam etch process, instead of a RIE etch process, to form magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structures. For example, the method includes forming MTJ structure layers on an interconnect layer, where the interconnect layer includes a first area and a second area. The method further includes depositing a mask layer over the MTJ structure layers in the first area and forming masking structures over the MTJ structure layers in the second area. The method also includes etching with an ion beam etch process, the MTJ structure layers between the masking structures to form MTJ structures over vias in the second area of the interconnect layer; and removing, with the ion beam etch process, the mask layer, the top electrode, the MTJ stack, and a portion of the bottom electrode in the first area of the interconnect layer.

摘要: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to an interconnect structure. The interconnect structure has a metal body disposed over a substrate, and a metal projection protruding outward from an upper surface of the metal body. A dielectric layer is disposed over the substrate and surrounds the metal body and the metal projection. A barrier layer separates the metal body and the metal projection from the dielectric layer.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for forming an interconnect structure. In some embodiments, the method may be performed by forming an opening within a sacrificial layer. The sacrificial layer is over a substrate. A conductive material is formed within the opening and over the sacrificial layer. The conductive material within the opening defines a conductive body. The conductive material is patterned to define a conductive projection extending outward from the conductive body. The sacrificial layer is removed and a dielectric material is formed surrounding the conductive body and the conductive projection.

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.
