Publication number: 20240379423Abstract: A barrier layer is formed in a portion of a thickness of sidewalls in a recess prior to formation of an interconnect structure in the recess. The barrier layer is formed in the portion of the thickness of the sidewalls by a plasma-based deposition operation, in which a precursor reacts with a silicon-rich surface to form the barrier layer. The barrier layer is formed in the portion of the thickness of the sidewalls in that the precursor consumes a portion of the silicon-rich surface of the sidewalls as a result of the plasma treatment. This enables the barrier layer to be formed in a manner in which the cross-sectional width reduction in the recess from the barrier layer is minimized while enabling the barrier layer to be used to promote adhesion in the recess.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: Chien CHANG, Min-Hsiu HUNG, Yu-Hsiang LIAO, Yu-Shiuan WANG, Tai Min CHANG, Kan-Ju LIN, Chih-Shiun CHOU, Hung-Yi HUANG, Chih-Wei CHANG, Ming-Hsing TSAI
