AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The damaged sidewall of the opening in the porous low-k material layer may increase the number of pores and make the surface rougher, resulting in an uneven barrier layer formed on the sidewall of the opening, which is likely to cause electrical conductivity. Diffusion of material into porous low-k materials
In the above cases, the uneven barrier layer may not be effective in providing a diffusion barrier
This diffusion phenomenon may lead to component failure and other reliability issues when the design size is reduced

Abstract

The invention provides a semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The manufacturing method of the semiconductor structure includes: partially or completely sealing the holes exposed on the dielectric material along the sidewall of the via window. Afterwards, one or more barrier layers are formed on the dielectric material, and the conductive material is filled in the via hole. The barrier layer formed on the sealing layer has a relatively smooth and continuous surface. The holes can be partially or completely sealed using, for example, a plasma process in an argon atmosphere.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a semiconductor structure having a barrier layer in a damascene opening, and a method of forming the structure in an integrated circuit. Background technique [0002] Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Transistor (CMOS) is a semiconductor technology that is mainly used today to manufacture Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI). Over the decades, the shrinking of semiconductor structures has resulted in dramatic improvements in device speed, performance, circuit density, and cost per unit of semiconductor wafer. However, the main challenge comes from whether the size of CMOS devices can be continuously reduced. [0003] Fabrication of interconnects is one of the challenges of this type. A typical CMOS device is formed by forming semiconductor structures such as transistors, capacitors, resistors, etc. on a substrate. Metal or metal alloys are used to form a single-l...
