Abstract

An interconnect structure and a method of forming the same, the interconnect structure may include: an interconnect surface dielectric material layer over a substrate; the first metal interconnection structure is embedded in the interconnection surface dielectric material layer and comprises a first metal barrier liner and a first metal filling material part; and an overlying dielectric material layer. Openings in the overlying dielectric material layer may be formed throughout the region of the first metal barrier liner and outside the region of the first metal fill material portion to reduce plasma damage. A second metal interconnect structure may be formed in the opening that contacts a top surface of the first metal barrier liner. An entirety of a top surface of the first metal fill material portion contacts a bottom surface of the overlying dielectric material layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an interconnect structure and a method of forming the same. Background technique [0002] Typically, an anisotropic etch process can be used to pattern openings through the overlying insulating layer. However, previously formed metal interconnect structures may suffer from undesirable plasma damage during the anisotropic etch process through the patterned openings in the overlying insulating layer. Such plasma damage can lead to electrical failure or reduced performance of underlying electrical connection elements such as field effect transistors. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide an interconnect structure including: an interconnect surface dielectric material layer and a first metal interconnect structure. An interconnect level dielectric material layer is over the substrate. The first metal interconnect structure is embedded in the interconnect surface dielectri...
