    Abstract: A structure and method for an insulator layer having carbon-graded layers above a substrate is disclosed, wherein the concentration of carbon increases in each successive carbon-graded layer above the substrate. The insulator comprises a low-k dielectric having a dielectric constant less than 3.3. The carbon-graded layer increases adhesion between the substrate and the insulator and between the insulator and the conductor layer. The structure may also include stabilization interfaces between the carbon-graded layers. More specifically, the carbon-graded layers include a first layer adjacent the substrate having a carbon content between about 5% and 20%, a second layer above the first layer having a carbon content between about 10% and 30%, and a third layer above the second layer having a carbon content between about 20% and 40%.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interconnected structure of copper alloys having improved electromigration resistance force, adhesion and other surface characteristics. SOLUTION: Copper conductor bodies 56 and 60 and a copper alloy or metal seed layer 76 disposed between the copper conductor bodies and an electronic device are utilized to provide a novel interconnected structure for establishing electrical communication with the electronic device. In order to improve the electromigration resistance force, an adhesion property to a barrier layer, device surface characteristics or an adhesion process, copper-based seed layers of various decompositions or a specific metal seed layer can be used according to each purpose.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a rigidity of a backend-of-line structure. SOLUTION: The damascene structure of interconnecting multi-level coppers on an integrated circuit chip includes several line conductors which are on the integrated circuit and are separated by dielectric materials having quite low dielectric constant and high elastic modulus. A second flat interconnection layer 18 on the first flat interconnection layer 14, consists of a dielectric film 26 having a higher elastic modulus than that of a dielectric material in the first flat interconnection layer 14, and an electrical conduction via 28 passing through the dielectric film 26. Electrical conduction vias 28 contact line conductors 22 selectively. A third flat interconnection layer 20 on the second flat interconnection layer 18, has several line conductors 22 which are isolated by dielectric materials and contact electrical conduction vias selectively.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses an interconnection structure for providing electrical communication with an electronic device which includes a body that is formed substantially of copper and a seed layer of either a copper alloy or a metal that does not contain copper sandwiched between the copper conductor body and the electronic device for improving the electromigration resistance, the adhesion property and other surface properties of the interconnection structure. The present invention also discloses methods for forming an interconnection structure for providing electrical connections to an electronic device by first depositing a seed layer of copper alloy or other metal that does not contain copper on an electronic device, and then forming a copper conductor body on the seed layer intimately bonding to the layer such that electromigration resistance, adhesion and other surface properties of the interconnection structure are improved.
