Abstract:
A reflow enhancement layer is formed in an opening prior to forming and reflowing a contact metal or metal alloy. The reflow enhancement layer facilitates the movement (i.e., flow) of the contact metal or metal alloy during a reflow anneal process such that a void-free metallization structure of the contact metal or metal alloy is provided.
