Publication number: 20230223302Abstract: A method includes forming a dielectric layer over an epitaxial source/drain region. An opening is formed in the dielectric layer. The opening exposes a portion of the epitaxial source/drain region. A barrier layer is formed on a sidewall and a bottom of the opening. An oxidation process is performing on the sidewall and the bottom of the opening. The oxidation process transforms a portion of the barrier layer into an oxidized barrier layer and transforms a portion of the dielectric layer adjacent to the oxidized barrier layer into a liner layer. The oxidized barrier layer is removed. The opening is filled with a conductive material in a bottom-up manner. The conductive material is in physical contact with the liner layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Pin-Wen Chen, Chang-Ting Chung, Yi-Hsiang Chao, Yu-Ting Wen, Kai-Chieh Yang, Yu-Chen Ko, Peng-Hao Hsu, Ya-Yi Cheng, Min-Hsiu Hung, Chun-Hsien Huang, Wei-Jung Lin, Chih-Wei Chang, Ming-Hsing Tsai
