    • Silver interconnects (118) are formed by etching deep grooves (114) into an insulating layer (112) over the contact regions, exposing portions of the contact regions and defining the interconnects. The grooves (114) are etched with a truncated V- or U-shape, wider at the top than at any other vertical location, and have a minimum width of 0.25 µm or less. An optional adhesion layer and a barrier layer are sputtered onto surfaces of the groove, including the sidewalls, followed by sputter deposition of a seed layer. Where aluminum is employed as the seed layer, a zincating process may then be optionally employed to promote adhesion of silver to the seed layer. The groove (114) is then filled with silver (116) by plating in a silver solution, or with silver and copper by plating in a copper solution followed by plating in a silver solution. The filled groove (114) which results does not exhibit voids ordinarily resulting from sputter deposition of metal into such narrow, deep grooves, although seams may be intermittently present in portions of the filled groove where metal plated from the opposing sidewalls did not fuse flawlessly at the point of convergence. Portions of the silver (116) and other layers above the insulating material (112) are then removed by chemical-mechanical polishing, leaving a silver interconnect (118) connected to the exposed portion of the contact region (110) and extending over adjacent insulating regions to another contact region or a bond pad. Silver interconnects (118) thus formed may have smaller cross-sections, and thus a greater density in a given area, than conventional metallic interconnects.
    • 通过在接触区域上将深槽(114)蚀刻成绝缘层(112)形成银互连(118),暴露接触区域的部分并限定互连。 凹槽(114)被蚀刻成截顶的V形或U形,在顶部比在任何其它垂直位置处更宽,并且具有0.25μm或更小的最小宽度。 将可选的粘合层和阻挡层溅射到包括侧壁的凹槽的表面上,然后溅射沉积种子层。 当铝用作种子层时,可以任选地使用锌化工艺以促进银与种子层的粘附。 然后通过在银溶液中镀银,或者通过在铜溶液中电镀银和铜,然后在银溶液中电镀,将银(116)填充到银(116)中。 所形成的填充凹槽(114)通常不会由金属溅射沉积到这种狭窄的深沟槽中而产生空隙,尽管接缝可以间断地存在于填充凹槽的部分中,其中从相对的侧壁电镀的金属没有完美融合 融合点。 然后通过化学机械抛光去除银(116)和绝缘材料(112)上方的其它层的部分,留下连接到接触区域(110)的暴露部分并延伸到相邻绝缘体上的银互连(118) 区域到另一个接触区域或接合焊盘。 如此形成的银互连(118)可以具有比常规金属互连更小的横截面,并且因此在给定区域中具有更大的密度。
