Abstract: Electronic devices and methods of forming electronic devices using a ruthenium or doped ruthenium liner and cap layer are described. A liner with a ruthenium layer and a cobalt layer is formed on a barrier layer. A conductive fill forms a second conductive line in contact with the first conductive line.

Abstract: Provided are methods of forming vias with decreased resistance by selectively depositing a barrier layer on an insulating layer and not on a metallic surface. Some embodiments of the disclosure utilize a planar hydrocarbon to form a blocking layer on metallic surfaces. Deposition is performed to selectively deposit on the unblocked insulating surfaces.

Abstract: Methods of forming devices comprise forming a dielectric layer on a substrate, the dielectric layer comprising at least one feature defining a gap including sidewalls and a bottom. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is formed on the bottom of the gap, and a barrier layer is formed on the SAM before selectively depositing a metal liner on the barrier layer. The SAM is removed after selectively depositing the metal liner on the barrier layer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods of forming interconnect structures in the manufacture of microelectronic devices. In one or more embodiments, microelectronic devices described herein comprise at least one top interconnect structure that is interconnected to at least one bottom interconnect structure. Embodiments of the disclosure relate to methods of improving barrier layer and metal liner properties in the interconnect structures without increasing capacitance and/or damaging other layers. In some embodiments, the barrier layer is treated with microwave radiation. The treatment process can be implemented in a processing tool including a modular high-frequency emission source.

Abstract: Methods of forming devices comprise forming a dielectric material on a substrate, the dielectric layer comprising at least one feature defining a gap including sidewalls and a bottom. The methods include passivating a metal material at a bottom of the gap with an alkyl reactant to form a passivation layer on the metal material, the gap defined by the bottom and sidewalls comprising the dielectric material with having a barrier layer thereon. A metal liner is selectively deposited on the barrier layer on the sidewall over the passivation layer on the bottom.

Abstract: Methods for selective deposition are described herein. Further, methods for improving selectivity comprising an ammonia plasma pre-clean process are also described. In some embodiments, a silyl amine is used to selectively form a surfactant layer on a dielectric surface. A ruthenium film may then be selectively deposited on a conductive surface. In some embodiments, the ammonia plasma removes oxide contaminations from conductive surfaces without adversely affecting the dielectric surface.
