VIA BOTTOM STRUCTURE AND METHODS OF FORMING |
摘要 |
Various embodiments include methods and integrated circuit structures. One method includes: forming a via opening through a trench to expose a portion of an underlying metal line; electrolessly plating a metal layer at a bottom of the via opening over the exposed portion of the underlying metal line, the electrolessly plated metal layer formed of a metal not including copper; depositing a cobalt layer to cover the bottom of the via opening over the electrolessly plated metal layer and sidewalls of the via opening; and growing a copper layer over the cobalt layer to form a line within the trench and a via filling the via opening. |

1. A method comprising:
forming a via opening through a trench to expose a portion of an underlying metal line; electrolessly plating a metal layer at a bottom of the via opening over the exposed portion of the underlying metal line, the electrolessly plated metal layer formed of a metal not including copper; depositing a cobalt layer to cover the bottom of the via opening over the electrolessly plated metal layer and sidewalls of the via opening; growing a copper layer over the cobalt layer to form a line within the trench and a via filling the via opening; and annealing the trench and the via opening after the growing of the copper laver. |
