Low dielectric constant stop layer for integrated circuit interconnects

摘要

An integrated circuit and manufacturing method therefor is provided having a semiconductor substrate with a semiconductor device and a device dielectric layer formed on the semiconductor substrate. A channel dielectric layer on the device dielectric layer has a channel opening and a conductor core filling the channel opening. A via stop layer is formed over the channel dielectric layer to have a hydrogen concentration below 15 atomic % and a via dielectric layer is formed over the via stop layer and has a via opening. A second channel dielectric layer over the via dielectric layer has a second channel opening. A second conductor core, filling the second channel opening and the via opening, is connected to the semiconductor device.
