Abstract

The invention discloses a semiconductor structure and a forming method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: providing a substrate; a dielectric layer is formed on the substrate, a through hole is formed in the dielectric layer, and the bottom of the through hole is exposed out of the substrate; a barrier layer, a nucleation liner layer located on the surface of the barrier layer and a seed crystal layer located on the nucleation liner layer are formed on the side wall and the bottom of the through hole, crystal grains of the nucleation liner layer have a first particle size, crystal grains of the seed crystal layer have a second particle size, and the first particle size is smaller than the second particle size; and forming a conductive layer filling the through hole on the surface of the seed crystal layer. The nucleation liner layer improves the uniformity of the seed crystal layer, and the increase of the nucleation uniformity facilitates the improvement of the quality of the conductive layer and facilitates the reduction of the probability of generation of bad defects such as gaps.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of chip integration, copper has replaced aluminum as the mainstream interconnect technology in VLSI manufacturing. Compared with aluminum, copper has the characteristics of low resistivity and good resistance to electric mobility. Therefore, a circuit using copper as an interconnection wire has low power consumption, small parasitic capacitance, small signal interference, fast signal transmission speed, and high reliability. [0003] Since the etching of copper is very difficult, the copper interconnect adopts a dual embedded process, also known as a dual Damascene process. The damascene process is further divided into a single damascene process and a dual damascene process, the difference between the two is whether the through-hole and th...
