摘要: A semiconductor structure is provided. The semiconductor structure includes a first conductive feature and a second conductive feature disposed in an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer. The semiconductor structure includes a first graphene layer disposed over the first conductive feature and a second graphene layer disposed over a portion of the second conductive feature. An etch-stop layer (ESL) is horizontally interposed between the first graphene layer and the second graphene layer. A side surface of the first or the second graphene layer directly contacts a side surface of the ESL. A third conductive feature is electrically coupled to the second conductive feature. The third conductive feature is separated from the first graphene layer by a portion of the ESL, and the third conductive feature also directly contacts a top surface of the ESL.

摘要: Interconnect structures and method of forming the same are disclosed herein. An exemplary interconnect structure includes a first contact feature in a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, a second contact feature over the first contact feature, a barrier layer between the second dielectric layer and the second contact feature, and a liner between the barrier layer and the second contact feature. An interface between the first contact feature and the second contact feature includes the liner but is free of the barrier layer.

摘要: A method includes forming a trench within a dielectric layer, the trench comprising an interconnect portion and a via portion, the via portion exposing an underlying conductive feature. The method further includes depositing a seed layer within the trench, depositing a carbon layer on the seed layer, performing a carbon dissolution process to cause a graphene layer to form between the seed layer and the underlying conductive feature, and filling a remainder of the trench with a conductive material.

摘要: A method includes providing a substrate, a dielectric layer over the substrate, and metallic features over the dielectric layer; and forming an organic blocking layer (OBL) over the dielectric layer and between lower portions of the metallic features. The OBL covers sidewall surfaces of the lower portions, but not upper portions, of the metallic features. The method further includes depositing a dielectric barrier layer over top surfaces of the metallic features and over the sidewall surfaces of the upper portions of the metallic features, wherein at least a portion of a top surface of the OBL is not covered by the dielectric barrier layer; forming an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer between the metallic features and above the OBL; and removing the OBL, leaving an air gap above the dielectric layer, below the dielectric barrier layer and the IMD layer, and laterally between the lower portions of the metallic features.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for fabricating a semiconductor structure that includes a first dielectric layer over a semiconductor substrate, and a first cap layer over the first dielectric layer. The method includes forming a first metal feature in the first dielectric layer; performing a first CMP process on the first metal feature using a first rotation rate; and performing a second CMP process on the first metal feature using a second rotation rate slower than the first rotation rate. The second CMP process may be time-based. The second CMP process may stop on the first cap layer. After performing the second CMP process, the method includes removing the first cap layer. The first CMP process may have a first polishing rate to the first metal feature. The second CMP process may have a second polishing rate to the first metal feature lower than the first polishing rate.

摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes removing a top portion of a conductive feature disposed in a first dielectric layer and over a semiconductor substrate to form a first recess, depositing a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, where the second dielectric layer includes a first region disposed vertically above the first recess and a second region disposed adjacent the first region, and forming a third dielectric layer over the second dielectric layer. The method further includes subsequently forming openings in the third dielectric layer that extend to expose the second dielectric layer, depositing a conductive material in the openings, and planarizing the conductive material to form conductive features in the first and the second regions, where the planarizing completely removes portions of the third dielectric layer disposed in the second region.
