Methods of forming a barrier layer in an interconnect structure

摘要

Methods of forming a barrier layer for an interconnection structure are provided. In one embodiment, a method for forming an interconnect structure includes providing a substrate having a first conductive layer disposed thereon, incorporating oxygen into an upper portion of the first conductive layer, depositing a first barrier layer on the first conductive layer, and diffusing the oxygen incorporated into the upper portion of the first conductive layer into a lower portion of the first barrier layer. In another embodiment, a method for forming an interconnection structure includes providing a substrate having a first conductive layer disposed thereon, treating an upper surface of the first conductive layer with an oxygen containing gas, depositing a first barrier layer on the treated conductive layer, and depositing a second conductive layer on the first barrier layer while driving a portion of oxygen atoms from the treated conductive layer into the first barrier layer.
