    Abstract: A structure and method for fabricating circuits which use field effect transistors (FETs), bipolar transistors, or BiCMOS (combined Bipolar/Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon structures), uses low temperature germanium gas flow to affect metals and alloys deposited in high aspect ratio structures including lines and vias. By using a germanium gas flow, germanium (Ge) will be introduced in a surface reaction which prevents voids and side seams and which also provides a passivating layer of CuGe. If a hard cap is needed for surface passivation or a wear-resistance application, the GeH4 gas followed by WF6 can be used to produce an in-situ hard cap of WxGey. Further, high aspect ratio vias/lines (aspect ratio of 3 or more) can be filled by utilizing low pressures and high temperatures (i.e., below 450 DEG C) without degrading the underlying metals.
