    Abstract: A plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process is provided for depositing one or more dielectric material layers on a substrate for use in interconnect structures of integrated circuits. The method comprises the steps of depositing a fluorinated amorphous carbon (a-F:C) layer on a substrate by providing a fluorine containing gas, preferably octafluorocyclobutane, and a carbon containing gas, preferably methane, in ratio of approximately 5.6, so as to deposit a a-F:C layer having an internal compressive stress of approximately 28 MPa. After deposition the film is annealed at approximately 400° C. for approximately two hours. An adhesion promoter layer of relatively hydrogen-free hydrogeneated silicon carbide is then deposited on the a-F:C layer using silane (SiH4) and methane (CH4) as the deposition gases. The silicon carbide layer may be deposited at a rate of approximately 180 Å per minute and typically results in deposition of a silicon carbide layer having an internal compressive stress of approximately 400 MPa. The deposited silicon carbide layer has relatively few hydrogen bonds thereby yielding a compact structure which promotes adhesion of the a-F:C layer to a silicon nitride layer and to the a-F:C layer, and which reduces diffusion of fluorine through the silicon carbide layer. A silicon nitride layer is then deposited on the adhesion promoter layer, the deposition materials preferably comprising silane (SiH4) and nitrogen (N2) in a ratio of 30:100 at 400° C. The silicon nitride layer has relatively few hydrogen bonds thereby resulting in a layer having an internal compressive stress of approximately 240 MPa. This stacked layer structure has thermal stability and resists peeling and cracking up to 450° C., and the a-F:C dielectric layer has a dielectric constant (k) as low, or lower, than 2.5.

    Abstract: In one aspect of the invention, a method for forming interconnects on a substrate is provided. A metal passivation layer is selectively formed on conductive elements of the substrate. Thereafter, one or more dielectric layers are deposited over the metal passivation layer. Interconnect lines and vias are then patterned and etched into the one or more dielectric layers. A conductive layer is subsequently deposited over the interconnect lines and vias. In another aspect of the invention, the selective deposition process may comprise electroless deposition of the metal passivation layer. Alternatively, the selective deposition process may comprise a selective chemical vapor deposition process. The metal passivation layer may also be formed by depositing a metal alloy of copper over the conductive element, depositing a copper layer over the metal alloy, and annealing the metal alloy. In another aspect still, a metal passivation layer is selectively deposited over the conductive element of the substrate. A first dielectric layer is then deposited over the metal passivation layer and the substrate. This is followed by depositing a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer. Preferably, the first dielectric layer has a dielectric constant higher than a second dielectric constant of the second dielectric layer. It is also preferred that the first and second dielectric layers have dissimilar etch characteristics. Interconnect lines and vias are then etched in the first and second dielectric layers using selective etch chemistry. The interconnect lines and vias are then filled with at least one conductive material.
