Abstract: A new variable selective etching technology for thick SOI devices. An SOI material is etched by the following steps: (1) providing an SOI wafer; (2) depositing a composite hard mask with a variable selection ratio to replace a traditional hard mask with an invariable selection ratio; (3) applying a photoresist; (4) mask making, namely defining a to-be-etched region by using a photoetching plate; (5) etching the photoresist in the defined region; (6) etching the composite hard mask; (7) removing the photoresist; (8) etching top silicon by using a second etching method at a first selection ratio; and (9) etching a buried oxide layer by using a third etching method at a second selection ratio. The new variable selective etching technology avoids the damage to a side wall of a deep trench when the buried oxide layer is etched, and does not need to use an excessive thick hard mask.

Abstract: An approach for forming a semiconductor device is provided. In general, the device is formed by providing a metal layer, a cap layer over the metal layer, and an ultra low k layer over the cap layer. A via is then formed through the ultra low k layer and the cap layer. Once the via is formed, a barrier layer (e.g., cobalt (Co), tantalum (Ta), cobalt-tungsten-phosphide (CoWP), or other metal capable of acting as a copper (CU) diffusion barrier) is selectively applied to a bottom surface of the via. A liner layer (e.g., manganese (MN) or aluminum (AL)) is then applied to a set of sidewalls of the via. The via may then be filled with a subsequent metal layer (with or without a seed layer), and the device may the then be further processed (e.g., annealed).
