Protecting layer in a semiconductor structure

Abstract:

A method for forming a protecting layer includes determining an expected concentration of metal ions in a dielectric layer. The method also includes determining a thickness of the protecting layer based on the expected concentration of metal ions. The method also includes forming the protecting layer at the determined thickness and in contact with the dielectric layer. The protecting layer can include at least one of silicon doped nitride, carbon nitride, silicon nitride, or silicon carbon.
