    • The present disclosure generally relates to forming a metallization layer in a semiconductor device. In particular, this disclosure concerns the damascene inlay technique in low-k dielectric layers. Etching trenches and vias in low-k dielectric materials leads to uneven and porous sidewalls of the trenches and vias due to the porous nature of the low-k dielectric materials. Thus, smooth and dense sidewalls cannot be achieved, which is a prerequisite for an effective barrier layer, which prevents copper from being diffused into the low-k dielectric material. As a consequence, process tolerances are high and the reliability of the semiconductor device is reduced. The present disclosure overcomes these drawbacks by a surface treatment of the sidewalls of trenches and vias in order to densify the surface such that the following barrier layer may more effectively prevent copper from diffusing into the low-k or ultra high-k dielectric material.
    • 本公开一般涉及在半导体器件中形成金属化层。 特别地,本公开涉及在低k电介质层中的镶嵌技术。 由于低k介电材料的多孔性质,低k电介质材料中的蚀刻沟槽和通孔导致沟槽和通孔的不均匀和多孔的侧壁。 因此,不能实现平滑和致密的侧壁,这是有效阻挡层的先决条件,其阻止铜扩散到低k电介质材料中。 因此,工艺公差高,半导体器件的可靠性降低。 本公开通过沟槽和通孔的侧壁的表面处理克服了这些缺点,以便使表面致密化,使得后续阻挡层可以更有效地防止铜扩散到低k或超高k电介质材料中。
