Abstract:
A gate structure is formed on a substrate. An insulating interlayer is formed covering the gate structure. The substrate is heat treated while exposing a surface of the insulating interlayer to a hydrogen gas atmosphere. A silicon nitride layer is formed directly on the interlayer insulating layer after the heat treatment and a metal wiring is formed on the insulating interlayer. The metal wiring may include copper. Heat treating the substrate while exposing a surface of the interlayer insulating layer to a hydrogen gas atmosphere may be preceded by forming a plug through the first insulating interlayer that contacts the substrate, and the metal wiring may be electrically connected to the plug. The plug may include tungsten.
Abstract:
In a method for forming a wiring of a semiconductor device using an atomic layer deposition, an insulating interlayer is formed on a substrate. Tantalum amine derivatives represented by a chemical formula Ta(NR1)(NR2R3)3 in which R1, R2 and R3 represent H or C1-C6 alkyl group are introduced onto the insulating interlayer. A portion of the tantalum amine derivatives is chemisorbed on the insulating interlayer. The rest of tantalum amine derivatives non-chemisorbed on the insulating interlayer is removed from the insulating interlayer. A reacting gas is introduced onto the insulating interlayer. A ligand in the tantalum amine derivatives chemisorbed on the insulating interlayer is removed from the tantalum amine derivatives by a chemical reaction between the reacting gas and the ligand to form a solid material including tantalum nitride. The solid material is accumulated on the insulating interlayer through repeating the above processes to form a wiring.

Abstract:
Methods of forming an integrated circuit device can include forming an interlevel dielectric film on an integrated circuit substrate including a conductive portion thereof. The interlevel dielectric film includes a contact hole therein exposing a portion of the conductive portion of the integrated circuit substrate, and the dielectric film includes a trench therein communicating with the contact hole wherein the trench is in a surface of the interlevel dielectric film opposite the integrated circuit substrate. A first metal layer is formed in the contact hole preferentially with respect to formation of the first metal layer on a surface of the interlevel dielectric film opposite the integrated circuit substrate. After preferentially forming the first metal layer in the contact hole, a second metal layer is formed on the surface of the interlevel dielectric film opposite the integrated circuit substrate.
Abstract:
A metal interconnection of a semiconductor device is fabricated by forming a dielectric pattern including a hole therein on a substrate, and forming a barrier metal layer in the hole and on the dielectric layer pattern outside the hole. At least some of the barrier metal layer is oxidized. An anti-nucleation layer is selectively formed on the oxidized barrier metal layer outside the hole that exposes the oxidized barrier metal layer in the hole. A metal layer then is selectively formed on the exposed oxidized barrier layer in the hole.
Abstract:
A method of forming a conductive plug for an integrated circuit device may include forming an insulating layer on an integrated circuit substrate with the insulating layer having a surface opposite the substrate and a recess therein. A titanium (Ti) layer may be formed on sidewalls of the recess and on the surface of the insulating layer opposite the substrate. After forming the titanium (Ti) layer, a reaction reducing layer may be formed on portions of the titanium layer on the surface of the insulating layer opposite the substrate by at least one of ionized physical vapour deposition (iPVD) and/or nitriding a portion of the titanium layer, and the reaction reducing layer may include a material other than titanium. After forming the reaction reducing layer, a TiN layer may be formed on the reaction reducing layer and on sidewalls of the recess in the insulating layer using metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). After forming the TiN layer, a conductive plug may be formed on the TiN layer in the recess in the insulating layer.
Abstract:
Methods of forming a semiconductor device having a metal gate electrode include sequentially forming a gate insulator, a gate polysilicon layer and a metal-gate layer on a semiconductor substrate. The metal-gate layer and the gate polysilicon layer are sequentially patterned to form a gate pattern comprising a stacked gate polysilicon pattern and a metal-gate pattern. An oxidation barrier layer is formed to cover at least a portion of a sidewall of the metal-gate pattern.
Abstract:
An aluminum wiring is selectively formed within a contact hole or groove of a substrate. An intermediate layer which includes nitrogen is formed over the main surface of a substrate and over the interior surface of the contact hole or groove. A first surface portion of the intermediate layer which is located over the main surface of the substrate is treated with a plasma to form a passivity layer at the first surface portion of the intermediate layer. Then, without an intervening vacuum break, an aluminum film is CAD deposited only over a second surface portion of the intermediate layer which is located over the interior surface of the contact hole or recess. The plasma treatment of the first surface portion of the intermediate layer prevents the CAD deposition of the aluminum film over the first surface portion of the intermediate layer.
