摘要： Novel low dielectric constant materials for use as dielectric in the dual damascene process are provided. A low dielectric constant material dielectric layer is formed by reacting a nitrogen-containing precursor and a substituted organosilane in a plasma-enhanced chemical deposition chamber. Also, novel low dielectric constant materials for use as a passivation or etch stop layer in the dual damascene process are provided. A carbon-doped silicon nitride passivation or etch stop layer having a low dielectric constraint is formed by reacting a substituted ammonia precursor and a substituted organosilane in a plasma-enhanced chemical deposition chamber. Alternatively, a silicon-carbide passivation or etch stop layer having a low dielectric constant is formed by reacting a substituted organosilane in a plasma-enhanced chemical deposition chamber. Also, an integrated process of forming passivation, dielectric, and etch stop layers for use in the dual damascene process is described.

摘要： Improved processes for fabricating wire bond pads on pure copper damascene are disclosed by this invention. The invention relates to various methods of fabrication used for semiconductor integrated circuit devices, and more specifically to the formation of Al—Cu alloy top pad metal layers are described, which improve adhesion among the wire bond, top Al—Cu and the underlying copper pad metallurgy. This invention describes processes wherein a special Al—Cu bond layer or region is placed on top of the underlying copper pad metal. This Al—Cu bond pad on pure copper (with barrier layer in-between) provides for improved wire bond adhesion to the bond pad and prevents peeling during wire bond adhesion tests.

摘要： A new method of depositing a copper layer, using disproportionation of Cu(I) ions from a solution stabilized by a polar organic solvent, for single and dual damascene interconnects in the manufacture of an integrated circuit device has been achieved. A dielectric layer, which may comprise a stack of dielectric material, is provided overlying a semiconductor substrate. The dielectric layer is patterned to form vias and trenches for planned dual damascene interconnects. A barrier layer is deposited overlying the dielectric layer to line the vias and trenches. A simple Cu(I) ion solution, stabilized by a polar organic solvent, is coated overlying said barrier layer. Water is added to the stabilized simple Cu(I) ion solution to cause disproportionation of the simple Cu(I) ion from the Cu(I) ion solution. A copper layer is deposited overlying the barrier layer. The copper layer may comprise a thin seed layer for use in subsequent electroplating or electroless plating of copper or may comprise a thick copper layer to fill the vias and trenches. The integrated circuit is completed.

摘要： An improved method for removing a photoresist mask from an etched aluminum pattern after etching the pattern in a chlorine containing plasma has been developed. The method is a five step process, in which the first step is in a microwave generated plasma containing O2 and H2O; the second step is in a microwave generated plasma containing O2 and N2; the third step is in a microwave generated plasma containing H2O; the fourth step is in a microwave generated plasma containing O2 and N2; and the fifth step is in a microwave generated plasma containing H2O. The first step which initiates removal of photoresist while simultaneously beginning the passivation process causes residue-free removal of photoresist following etching of aluminum or aluminum-copper layers in chlorine bearing etchants.

摘要： A method for introducing air into the gaps between neighboring conducting structures in a microelectronics fabrication in order to reduce the capacitative coupling between them. A patterned metal layer is deposited on a substrate. The layer is lined with a CVD-oxide. A disposable gap-filling material is deposited over the lined metal layer. A two layer “air-bridge” is formed over the gap-fill by depositing a layer of TiN over a layer of CVD-oxide. This structure is rendered porous by several chemical processes. An oxygen plasma is passed through the porous air-bridge to react with and dissolve the gap-fill beneath it. The reaction products escape through the porous air-bridge resulting in air-filled gaps.

摘要： A method to make a self-aligned floating gate in a memory device. The method patterns the floating gate (FG) using the trench etch for the shallow trench isolation (STI). Because the floating gate (FG) is adjacent to the raised STI, sharp corners are eliminated between the FG and CG thereby increasing the effectiveness of the intergate dielectric layer. The method includes: forming an first dielectric layer (gate oxide) and a polysilicon layer over a substrate, etching through the first dielectric oxide layer and the polysilicon layer and into the substrate to form a trench. The remaining first dielectric layer and polysilicon layer function as a tunnel dielectric layer and a floating gate. The trench is filled with an isolation layer. The masking layer is removed. An intergate dielectric layer and a control gate are formed over the floating gate and the isolation layer.

摘要： A method for forming an L-shaped spacer using a sacrificial organic top coating, then using the L-shaped spacer to simultaneously implant lightly doped source and drain extensions through the L-shaped spacer while implanting source and drain regions beyond the L-shaped spacer. A semiconductor structure is provided having a gate structure thereon. A liner oxide layer is formed on the gate structure. A dielectric spacer layer is formed on the liner oxide layer. In the preferred embodiments, the dielectric spacer layer comprises a silicon nitride layer or a silicon oxynitride layer. A sacrificial organic layer is formed on the dielectric spacer layer. The sacrificial organic layer and the dielectric spacer layer are anisotropically etched to form spacers comprising a triangle-shaped sacrificial organic structure and an L-shaped dielectric spacer. The triangle-shaped sacrificial organic structure is removed leaving an L-shaped dielectric spacer. Impurity ions are implanted into the surface of the semiconductor structure forming lightly doped source and drain extensions where the ions are implanted through the L-shaped spacer, and forming source and drain regions beyond the L-shaped spacer where the ions are implanted without passing through the L-shaped spacer.

摘要： Silicon enriched silicon oxynitride is used in applications both as an independent etch stop and as a cap layer and sidewall component over polysilicon gate electrodes in order to prevent insulator thinning and shorts caused by a mis-aligned contact mask. In one embodiment a silicon enriched silicon oxynitride layer is placed over a polysilicon gate with conventional sidewalls and insulative cap. In another embodiment the insulative cap and the sidewalls are formed of a silicon enriched silicon oxinitride. Etching of contact openings in the subsequently deposited insulative layer is suppressed by the silicon enriched silicon oxynitride if it is engaged because of a mis-aligned contact mask. In another embodiment a polysilicon stack edge of a memory device is protected by a conformal silicon oxynitride layer during etching of a self-aligned-source (SAS) region. These embodiments are accomplished with minimal and virtually negligible increase in process complexity or cost.

摘要： A method for forming a residue free patterned polysilicon layer upon a high step height patterned substrate layer. First, there is provided a semiconductor substrate having formed thereon a high step height patterned substrate layer. Formed upon the high step height patterned substrate layer is a polysilicon layer, and formed upon the polysilicon layer is a patterned photoresist layer. The patterned photoresist layer exposes portions of the polysilicon layer at a lower step level of the high step height patterned substrate layer. The polysilicon layer is then patterned through the patterned photoresist layer as an etch mask employing an anisotropic first etch process to yield a patterned polysilicon layer upon the surface of the high step height patterned substrate layer and polysilicon residues at the lower step level of the high step height patterned substrate layer. The anisotropic first etch process is a Reactive Ion Etch (RIE) anisotropic first etch process which simultaneously passivates the exposed sidewall edges of the patterned polysilicon layer. Finally, the polysilicon residues formed at the lower step level of the high step height patterned substrate layer are removed through an isotropic second etch process. The isotropic second etch process is a Reactive Ion Etch (RIE) isotropic second etch process which employs hydrogen bromide (HBr) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as the reactant gases.
