    • A method is provided for forming metal interconnect structures which resists the formation of pile-ups caused by electromigration. Each metal interconnect structure includes an aluminum interconnect sandwiched between two refractory metal layers. The method of the present invention involves forming a layer of aluminum intermetallic alloy on the sidewalls of the aluminum interconnects. The layer of aluminum intermetallic alloy provides reinforcement for the sidewalls. The layer of aluminum intermetallic alloy comprises aluminum-refractory metal alloy. The aluminum-refractory metal alloy is formed by reacting the exposed aluminum on the sidewalls with refractory metal-containing precursor material. After the formation of the layer of aluminum intermetallic alloy the sidewalls of the aluminum interconnects, the formation of pile-ups will be suppressed. Thus, the lifetime of the aluminum interconnects is extended. Accordingly, the method of the present invention improves the reliability and wear resistance of integrated circuits employing aluminum interconnects.

    • The present invention is directed to a technology that simplifies the process of fabricating multilayer interconnects and reduces capacitance in integrated circuits employing multilayer interconnects. The novel landing pad technology of the present invention simplifies the current process steps involved in the formation of multilayer interconnects. The same contact/via etch, the same PVD TiN deposition, etc., can be modularized and repeated to build up multilayer metalization. The process of the present invention for forming multilayer interconnects involves the formation of Ti/TiN stack interconnect structures that can be used as local interconnects and contact landing pads on the same level. The contact landing pads facilitate the use of a borderless contact approach which enables a reduction in the size of the source-drain area. As the source-drain area is reduced, junction capacitance decreases, and packing density can be increased. Source-drain real estate can be also be minimized by using the Ti/TiN stack interconnect structures as contact landing pads in the implementation of raised source-drain technology. The Ti/TiN stack interconnect structures can also be used as short local interconnects in SRAM devices.
    • 本发明涉及一种简化多层互连的制造工艺并减少采用多层互连的集成电路中的电容的技术。 本发明的新型着陆垫技术简化了形成多层互连所涉及的当前工艺步骤。 相同的接触/通孔蚀刻,相同的PVD TiN沉积等可以被模块化和重复以建立多层金属化。 用于形成多层互连的本发明的方法涉及形成可用作局部互连的Ti / TiN叠层互连结构并且在相同的层上接触着陆焊盘。 接触着陆垫有利于使用无边界接触方法,这使得能够减小源极 - 漏极区域的尺寸。 随着源极 - 漏极面积的减小,结电容降低,堆积密度增加。 在实施升高的源极 - 漏极技术中,通过使用Ti / TiN堆叠互连结构作为接触着陆焊盘,也可以最大限度地减少源极漏极空间。 Ti / TiN堆叠互连结构也可以用作SRAM器件中的短局部互连。

    • A rapid thermal anneal (>600° C.) in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere is used to form a barrier TiN layer at the bottom of contact openings. To form source and drain contacts, contact openings are etched in a dielectric down to a titanium silicide layer on top of doped regions in the semiconductor (i.e. polysilicon or doped regions in the semiconductor substrate). The barrier TiN layer on the bottom of the contact openings is provided by a rapid thermal anneal in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere which converts the top part of the titanium silicide layer in the contact openings into a barrier TiN layer. This nitrogen-containing atmosphere contains nitrogen-containing species (e.g., N2, NH3, N2O) that react with titanium silicide to form TiN under the conditions provided by the rapid thermal anneal.

    • A process for applying a TiN contact/via adhesion layer to high aspect ratio contact/via openings etched in a dielectric comprises providing a first layer of TiN on the bottom of the contact/via openings and then depositing the second layer of TiN on the first layer of TiN and on the sidewalls of the contact/via openings. The second layer of TiN serves as the contact/via adhesion layer for structurally supporting the adhesion of a tungsten plug in the contact/via openings. In the case where a contact is etched in the dielectric down to a junction with a titanium silicide layer on top, the first layer of TiN on the bottom of the contact opening is provided by a rapid thermal anneal in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere which converts the top part of the titanium silicide layer in the contact into a barrier TiN layer. Alternatively, in the case where a contact is etched in the dielectric down to an underlying barrier TiN layer, the first layer of TiN on the bottom of the contact opening can be provided by a contact etch which is able to stop on an underlying barrier TiN layer with minimum TiN loss. In the case where a via is etched in the dielectric down to an underlying TiN anti-reflection coating on top of a metal layer, the first layer of TiN on the bottom of the via is provided by a via etch which is able to stop on the underlying TiN anti-reflection coating on top of the metal layer with minimum TiN loss.
