Abstract

Provided is a formation method of an interconnection structure. The formation method of the interconnection structure comprises: providing a substrate; forming a dielectric layer on the surface of the substrate; forming a covering cap layer on the surface of the dielectric layer; forming a mask layer on the surface of the covering cap layer, wherein the mask layer exposes a part of the surface of the covering cap layer; etching the covering cap layer to the surface of the dielectric layer by regarding the mask layer as the mask, and forming openings in the covering cap layer; etching sidewalls of the mask layer, and exposing a part of the surface of the covering cap layer; etching the dielectric layer with a part of thickness along the openings in the covering cap layer to form first through holes; performing oxidation treatment on a part of the covering cap layer which is not covered by the mask layer at the sidewalls of the openings to form an oxidation layer; etching the dielectric layer to the surface of the substrate along the first through holes to form second through holes, wherein the top width of the second through holes is greater than the bottom width; and forming a metal layer filling the second through holes. According to the method, the performance of the formed interconnection structure can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a method for forming an interconnection structure. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of semiconductor process technology, such as the introduction of high-K gate dielectric layer, stress engineering technology, pocket ion implantation, and continuous optimization of materials and device structures, the size of semiconductor devices is constantly shrinking, and the spacing between adjacent semiconductor devices is also increasing. Getting smaller and smaller. [0003] In the integrated circuit manufacturing process, after forming the semiconductor device structure on the substrate, it is necessary to use multiple metallization layers to connect each semiconductor device together to form a circuit. The metallization layer includes interconnection lines and contacts formed in contact holes. Metal plugs, the metal plugs in the interconnection holes...
