  • Publication number: 20160379875
    Abstract: An improved interconnect structure and a method for forming the interconnect structure is disclosed that allows the interconnect structure to achieve a lower Rc. To lower the Rc of the interconnect structure, an ?-phase inducing metal layer is introduced on a first Ta barrier layer of ? phase to induce the subsequent deposition of Ta thereon into the formation of an ?-phase Ta barrier layer. The subsequently deposited Ta barrier layer with a primary crystallographic structure of ? phase has a lower Rc than that of the ?-phase Ta barrier layer.
