    Abstract: A semiconductor contact structure and method provide contact structures that extend through a dielectric material and provide contact to multiple different subjacent materials including a silicide material and a non-silicide material such as doped silicon. The contact structures includes a lower composite layer formed using a multi-step ionized metal plasma (IMP) deposition operation. A lower IMP film is formed at a high AC bias power followed by the formation of an upper IMP film at a lower AC bias power. The composite layer may be formed of titanium. A further layer is formed as a liner over the composite layer and the liner layer may advantageously be formed using CVD and may be TiN. A conductive plug material such as tungsten or copper fills the contact openings.

    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a dielectric layer over a substrate. A first non-conductive barrier layer is formed over the dielectric layer. At least one opening is formed through the first non-conductive barrier layer and within the dielectric layer. A second non-conductive barrier layer is formed over the first non-conductive barrier layer and within the opening. At least a portion of the second non-conductive barrier layer is removed, thereby at least partially exposing a top surface of the first non-conductive barrier layer and a bottom surface of the opening, with the second non-conductive barrier layer remaining on sidewalls of the opening. A seed layer and conductive layer is then formed and a single polishing operation removes the seed layer and conductive layer.

    Abstract: Electrochemical plating (ECP) apparatuses with auxiliary cathodes to create uniform electric flux density. An ECP apparatus for electrochemical deposition includes an electrochemical cell with an electrolyte bath for electrochemically depositing a metal on a substrate. A main cathode and an anode are disposed in the electrolyte bath to provide a main electrical field. A substrate holder assembly holds a semiconductor wafer connecting the cathode. An auxiliary cathode is disposed outside the electrochemical cell to provide an auxiliary electrical field such that a flux line density at the center region of the substrate holder assembly substantially equals that at the circumference of the substrate holder assembly.

    Abstract: A method of electroplating a metal layer on a semiconductor device includes a sequence of biasing operations that includes a first electroplating step at a first current density followed by a second immersion step at a second current density being less than the first current density, and subsequent electroplating steps of increasing current densities beginning with a third electroplating step having a third current density that is greater than the first current density. The second, low current density immersion step improves the quality of the plating process and produces a plated film that completely fills openings such as vias and trenches and avoids hollow vias and pull-back on the bottom corners of via and trench openings. The low current density second immersion step produces an electrochemical deposition process that provides low contact resistance and therefore reduces device failure.
