Embodiment Construction

[0037] As mentioned in the background, the performance of the conductive interconnect structure formed in the prior art is poor.

[0038] After research, please continue to refer to Figure 1 to Figure 4In the prior art, when forming a copper interconnection structure, an opening 102 is formed in the dielectric layer 101 first, and a copper interconnection layer 104 is formed in the opening 102 through an electroplating process. However, as the integration level of integrated circuits increases, the size of semiconductor devices shrinks, which easily leads to a reduction in the size of the copper interconnection structure 104a to be formed. Therefore, the size of the opening 102 used to form the copper interconnection structure 104a is reduced, so that The increase in the depth and width of the opening 102 results in voids in the copper interconnection layer 104 filled in the opening 102 , and the electrical performance of the formed copper interconnection structure 104 a decre...

Abstract

A semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same, wherein the method for forming the semiconductor structure includes: providing a substrate having an interconnection region; forming a first barrier film, a conductive film, a second barrier film, and a first dielectric film on the surface of the substrate; Etching part of the first dielectric film, the second barrier film, the conductive film and the first barrier film until the surface of the substrate is exposed, so as to form the first barrier layer, the first conductive layer, the second barrier film on the surface of the interconnection region of the substrate A barrier layer and a first dielectric layer; a third barrier layer is formed on the side wall surface of the first conductive layer; a second dielectric layer is formed on the substrate surface, the third barrier layer surface and the side wall surface of the first dielectric layer, and the second The surface of the dielectric layer is flush with the surface of the first dielectric layer; part of the first dielectric layer is removed to form a second opening in the second dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer, and part of the surface of the first conductive layer is exposed at the bottom of the second opening. The performance of the formed semiconductor structure is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a semiconductor structure and a forming method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in order to realize the electrical connection between semiconductor devices, various metal interconnect structures and formation processes have been developed, such as copper interconnect structures, and copper electroplating processes (ECP, electro -coppering plating). However, with the development of ultra-large-scale integration (ULSI), the feature size (CD) of semiconductor devices is shrinking, and the process of forming metal interconnection structures is also challenged. [0003] Taking the existing copper interconnect structure as an example, Figure 1 to Figure 4 It is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the formation process of the copper interconnection structure in the prior art. [0004] Please refer to ...
