    • The present invention is directed to a structure of a gradient barrier layer. The gradient barrier with a composite structure of metal/metal salt of different composition/metal such as Ta/TaxN1−x/TaN/TaxN1−x/Ta (tantalum/tantalumx nitride1−x/tantalum nitride/tantalumx nitride1−x/tantalum) is proposed to replace the conventional barrier for copper metallization. The gradient barrier can be formed in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process or a multi-target physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. For CVD process, using the characteristics of well-controlled reaction gas injection, the ratio of tantalum (Ta) and nitrogen (N) can be modulated gradually to form the gradient barrier. For the multi-target PVD process, the gradient barrier is formed by depositing multi-layers of different composition TaxN1−x films. After subsequent thermal cycle processes such as metal alloy, the inter-layer diffusion occurs and a more smooth distribution of Ta and N is achieved for the gradient barrier. The advantages of forming the gradient barrier include a well-controlled process, a strong adhesion between via and landing metal, more uniform step coverage, and less brittle to reduce crack.
    • 本发明涉及梯度阻挡层的结构。 具有不同成分/金属的金属/金属盐的复合结构的梯度屏障,例如Ta / Ta x N 1-x / TaN / Ta x x 1 / x 1 / x 3/1 / x 2/1 / x 3 / 提出了替代传统的铜金属化屏障的方法。 梯度屏障可以在化学气相沉积(CVD)工艺或多目标物理气相沉积(PVD)工艺中形成。 对于CVD工艺,使用良好控制的反应气体注入特性,可以逐渐调节钽(Ta)和氮(N)的比例,形成梯度屏障。 对于多目标PVD工艺,通过沉积多层不同组成的Ta x N 1 x-x膜形成梯度屏障。 在随后的热循环过程如金属合金之后,发生层间扩散,并且对梯度屏障实现了更平稳的Ta和N分布。 形成梯度屏障的优点包括良好控制的工艺,通孔和着陆金属之间的牢固粘附,更均匀的台阶覆盖,并且较不易碎以减少裂纹。

    • A method is provided of forming a small geometry via or contact of a semiconductor integrated circuit, and an integrated circuit formed according to the same, is disclosed. According to a first disclosed embodiment, an opening is formed partially through an insulating layer overlying a conductive region. Sidewall spacers are formed along the sidewalls of the opening. The remaining insulating layer is etched to expose the underlying conductive region. The contact dimension of the opening is smaller than the opening which can be printed from modern photolithography techniques. According to an alternate embodiment, the opening in the insulating layer expose the underlying conductive region. A polysilicon layer is formed over the insulating layer and in the opening. The polysilicon is oxidized to form a thick oxide in the opening and is etched back to form oxidized polysilicon sidewall spacers which decrease the contact dimension of the opening. According to a further alternate embodiment, an etch stop layer is formed between the insulating layer and conductive region and an opening is formed in the insulating layer exposing the etch stop layer. A sidewall spacer film is formed over the insulating layer and the etch stop layer, both layers having a similar etch rate for a given etchant. The etch stop and spacer layers are etched in the opening to expose the underlying conductive layer thereby forming a contiguous sidewall spacer and etch stop layer on the sides of and under the insulating layer, thereby decreasing the contact dimension of the opening.

    • A method for forming integrated circuit structures includes the formation of high-value resistive elements and low resistance interconnect in a single polycrystalline layer. In one embodiment, interconnect regions of the polycrystalline silicon layer are masked, and resistive element regions are partially oxidized to reduce the thickness of the polycrystalline layer in such regions. Resistivity of the interconnect regions may then be reduced by implanting a high level of impurities in them, or by forming a refractory metal silicide layer over the interconnect regions. The oxide formed over the resistive elements during the oxidation thereof protects them from either of the following process steps, so that no masking is required. In an alternative embodiment, silicidation of the interconnect regions of the polycrystalline silicon layer may be performed without the prior local oxidations of the resistive element regions.
    • 一种用于形成集成电路结构的方法包括在单个多晶层中形成高价值电阻元件和低电阻互连。 在一个实施例中,多晶硅层的互连区域被掩蔽,并且电阻元件区域被部分氧化以减小这些区域中的多晶层的厚度。 然后可以通过在其中注入高水平的杂质或通过在互连区域上形成难熔金属硅化物层来减小互连区域的电阻率。 在氧化过程中在电阻元件上形成的氧化物保护它们免于以下任一工艺步骤,从而不需要掩蔽。 在替代实施例中,多晶硅层的互连区域的硅化可以在电阻元件区域的先前局部氧化的情况下进行。
