  • Low-k dielectric layer with overlying adhesion layer
    Patent number: 6939792
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of fabricating an integrated circuit includes forming a low-k dielectric layer over metal lines, forming an adhesion layer over the low-k dielectric layer, and forming a capping layer over the adhesion layer. The low-k dielectric may comprise SiLK™ dielectric material, while the capping layer may comprise TEOS. The resulting stack of dielectric materials may be employed in a passivation level to protect the metal lines. For example, a topside layer may be formed over the capping layer.
