Abstract

The application discloses a method for forming a contact hole structure and the contact hole structure, including: forming a groove on a dielectric layer; forming a diffusion barrier layer and a wetting layer on the bottom and side walls of the groove in sequence, and forming a wetting layer During the process, a protruding structure is formed at the opening of the groove; copper seed crystals are deposited on the surface of the diffusion barrier layer and the wetting layer through the first sputtering process and the second sputtering process, and the protruding structure is removed; copper seed crystals are formed on the copper seed crystals. layer, the copper layer fills the groove; the remaining diffusion barrier layer and copper layer outside the groove are removed. In the present application, after forming a diffusion barrier layer and a wetting layer on the bottom and side walls of the groove of the contact hole, copper seed crystals are deposited on the surface of the diffusion barrier layer and the wetting layer through the first sputtering process and the second sputtering process to remove The protrusion structure formed by the wetting layer at the opening of the groove enlarges the opening size of the groove, facilitates subsequent filling of conductive materials, and improves the yield rate of device manufacturing to a certain extent.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a method for forming a contact hole structure and the contact hole structure. Background technique [0002] At present, the conduction between different metal layers of a semiconductor device is formed by forming a groove in the dielectric layer between the two metal layers and filling it with a conductive material (such as copper) to form a contact hole (Contact Hole, which conducts the two metal layers). CT) structure and realized. The contact hole process leads the electrodes of various devices on the substrate to the dielectric layer, and uses multi-layer metal interconnection to lead the electrodes of the integrated circuit to facilitate subsequent packaging. [0003] Electromigration (Electromigration, EM) is one of the main failure mechanisms in semiconductor devices. Electromigration will cause open and short circuits in metallization, w...
