Description

半導體裝置的內連結構和其製造方法
半導體積體電路工業歷經指數型的成長。在積體電路材料和設計的技術進步,已造就多個世代的積體電路,其每一代都比前一代具有更小且更複雜的電路。在積體電路的演進過程中,功能密度(即每晶片面積的內連裝置的數量)逐漸增加,而幾何尺寸(即可使用製程製造的最小元件(或線))逐漸變小。上述縮減尺寸的過程大致上提供了增加生產效能和減少相關成本的優點。上述的尺寸縮減也增加加工和製造積體電路的複雜度,且為了實現這些進步,則需要相似程度的積體電路加工和製造的發展。
例如:使用多層內連接來連接各種裝置(電晶體、電阻器、電容等),以形成積體電路。在典型的多層內連結構中,多個導電線(如銅線)位在堆疊的介電層中,並透過介層窗從一層連接至另一層。此製程需要將多個導電特徵對準其上方之層和其下方之層。此對準可藉著由微影(或光刻)製程製造的圖案來定義。有時候,微影製程間的重疊(overlay)失誤可能造成與目標導電特徵相關的介層窗未對準。未對準的導電特徵可能造成和鄰近導電特徵之非預期的 橋接(短路),導致積體電路缺陷;造成下方層的過度蝕刻,導致積體電路信賴度的問題;或造成導電特徵之間預定的內連接未對準,從而導致開路的風險。此導電特徵(例如介層窗-線)的未對準問題隨積體電路的持續縮減而變得更嚴重。

然後,方法100可進行至方塊104,其形成導電線於基材上方。請參考圖2A和圖2B的例子,其繪示導電線206。導電線206為多層內連結構204的一部分。多層內連結構為具有適合的絕緣材料部分環繞的導電線及/或介層窗或接觸結構的內連系列,多層內連結構提供設置於下方基材 上的一或多個裝置的內連接。需說明的是,為了簡化,所示的多層內連結構204具有含導電線的單一層(及下述含導電線的第二層)。然而,在各種實施例中,多層內連結構204可包含任何數量(例如包含大於2)的導電層的層,例如在複雜的積體電路中有5、7或甚至更多層。每一個導電層可包括任何數量的導電線。此外,多層內連結構204可包括一或多層的導電線位於金屬化層下方,金屬化層包含所繪示的導電線206。再者,導電線206經由額外的導電線或介層窗,連接至設置在基材202上的一或多個元件或裝置。
導電線206可包括複數個層,如:阻障層、黏著層、及/或金屬層。在一些實施例中,阻障或黏著層包括鉭(Ta)、氮化鉭(TaN)、鈦(Ti)、氮化鈦(TiN)、鈷(Co)及/或其他適合的導電材料。在一些實施例中,銅層設置於阻障/黏著層上方。可做為導電線206的其他示例導電材料包括鋁(Al)、鎢(W)、鈷(Co)、多晶矽及/或其他適合的導體。在一個實施例中,導電線206包括阻障層(例如鉭或氮化鉭)和上方的銅導電材料。在實施例中,阻障層包括一或多層材料。
在實施例中,導電線206形成於絕緣層208中。在一些實施例中,絕緣層208包括低介電常數材料。絕緣層208的示例材料包括但不限於四乙氧基矽烷(tetraethyl orthosilicate;TEOS)氧化物、未摻雜的矽酸玻璃,或如硼磷矽酸鹽玻璃(BPSG)、熔融石英玻璃(FSG)、磷矽酸鹽玻璃(PSG)、硼摻雜的矽玻璃(BSG)之摻雜的氧化矽,及/或其他適合的介電材料。
可藉由如低壓化學氣相沉積(LPCVD)、電漿加強型化學氣相沉積(PECVD)、流動式化學氣相沉積(FCVD)之化學氣相沉積技術或其他適合的沉積技術,將絕緣層208沉積於基材202上方。例如:流動式化學氣相沉積包括沉積流動的材料(如液態化合物)於基材202上方,以及藉由適合的技術將流動的材料轉變為固態材料,所述適合的技術如熱退火或紫外線。然後,藉由化學機械研磨製程平坦化或者凹陷絕緣層208,以使絕緣層208具有平坦的頂表面。在一些實施例中,隨後,以一或多個微影和蝕刻製程圖案化絕緣層208,以在絕緣層208中形成溝渠。微影製程可包括形成光阻(或阻劑)層於絕緣層208上、曝光所述光阻為一圖案、進行曝光後烘烤製程,以及顯影所述光阻以形成包含光阻的罩幕元件。然後,罩幕元件用來蝕刻溝渠於絕緣層208中。蝕刻製程可包括乾式蝕刻、濕式蝕刻及/或其他適合的製程。然後,導電線206可形成於蝕刻的溝渠中。例如:用來形成導電線206的阻障/黏著層及/或金屬層,可沉積於圖案化的絕緣層208中。在一些實施例中,可藉由如濺鍍、化學氣相沉積,及電鍍或無電電鍍的一或多個適合的技術,來沉積導電線206的導電材料。在沉積後,一或多個導電材料(例如阻障層和金屬導體層)可溢出絕緣層208中的溝渠,之後可進行化學機械研磨製程,以平坦化裝置200的頂表面,從而移除絕緣層208上方多餘的阻障和金屬材料。保留溝渠中的阻障和金屬材料,以形成導電線206。在一些實施例中,因為化學機械研磨製程,絕緣層208的頂表面和導電線206的頂表面變成實質共平面。
方法100進行至方塊106,其沉積第一層材料於金屬線(或稱導電線)上。第一層材料可為選擇性地沉積,使得第一層材料實質覆蓋金屬線。在一些實施例中,圖案化第一層材料以形成特徵,所述特徵實質不延伸超過金屬線的末端。換言之,第一層材料形成一特徵,此特徵垂直對準金屬線並位於金屬線上。金屬線206上方的第一層之對準可落於製程的對準容忍度範圍內(例如落於10%內)。請參考圖3A和圖3B的例子,第一層302設置於基材202上方,特定地位於導電線206上方並與導電線206對準。第一層302和下方導電線206的垂直對準如圖3B的虛線302A所繪示。
在一實施例中,第一層302選擇性地成長於導電線206上。選擇性成長包括成長(或沉積)第一層302於導電線206上,然而不成長(或沉積)第一層302的材料於如介電層(或稱絕緣層)208之周圍的層上。在一些實施例中,可選擇性地成長氮化物材料,以形成第一層302。
在一實施例中,第一層302的選擇性成長包括預處理操作。在一實施例中,預處理操作包括導入化學物質至裝置的表面,包括導電線206的頂表面和介電層208的頂表面。化學物質的導入提供絕緣層208的頂表面上的懸浮鍵(dangling bond)之產生。預處理操作的示例化學物質包括酸水溶液,如稀釋氫氟酸(氫氟酸和去離子水)。預處理操作的示例化學物質也包括氣態化學物質的混合物,例如:氨(NH3)和三氟化氫(HF3)。
在一些實施例中,在選擇性成長的第一層302的預處理後包括一處理操作。此處理操作可終止 (terminate)在預處理操作中產生的懸浮鍵。例如:此處理操作之進行可與介電層208(例如存在於介電層208的氧化物材料中的氧,包括前述的示例組成)中現存的懸浮鍵(例如氧原子)產生疏水鍵。此處理操作的製程氣體可例如包括雙(三甲基矽基)胺(bis(trimethylsilyl)amine)、六甲基二矽氮烷(hexamethyldisilazane;HMDS)、四甲基二矽氮烷(tetramethyldisilazane;TMDS)、三甲基氯矽烷(trimethylchlorosilane;TMCS)、二甲基二氯矽烷(dimethyldichlorosilane;DMDCS)、甲基三氯矽烷(methyltrichlorosilane;MTCS)或其類似物。
在一些實施例中,一或多個示例的製程氣體提供數個成分,此些成分適用於藉由矽化製程來接附至介電層208的懸浮鍵。接附至介電層208的氧原子者可包括C-H鍵,其可包括甲基(CH3)官能基。例如:根據一些實施例,接附的鍵結/材料可包括Si(CH3)3
因為前述的鍵結,上述處理操作提供抑制膜(inhibitor film)210,抑制膜210形成於介電層208的頂表面上。所得的抑制膜210可非常薄,例如:抑制膜210可僅包括一些末端鍵結。需說明的是,在下述上方的層402之沉積中和沉積後,抑制膜210都保留在介電層208的頂表面上。
在上述分別說明的預處理操作和處理操作後,可進行形成第一層302的材料之選擇性成長。根據一些實施例,第一層302的材料可包括如氮化矽的介電材料。在一些實施例中,選擇性成長是藉由導入製程氣體至導電線206的表面和抑制膜210來達成。製程氣體可包括如SiBr4的含矽 前驅物。在一些實施例中,製程氣體可用來在約300℃至400℃的溫度下進行選擇性成長。
需說明的是,在一些實施例中,第一層302的選擇性成長提供包括第一層302對下層導電線206的自對準之優點。自對準緩和進行圖案化製程(包括如下述者)需要第一層302和下層導電線206之間的精確對準的需求。需說明的是,第一層310可選擇性地形成於金屬化層之每個暴露出的金屬線上方,所述金屬化層的金屬線包括示例的導電線206。
在一些實施例中,使用如低壓化學氣相沉積(LPCVD)、電漿加強型化學氣相沉積(PECVD)、流動式化學氣相沉積(FCVD)之化學氣相沉積技術或其他適合的沉積技術,將第一層302的材料沉積至基材202上。在一實施例中,所沉積的第一層302的材料為橫跨基材202之毯覆式沉積或共形沉積。在一些實施例中,接下來,以一或多個微影和蝕刻製程圖案化第一層302的材料,以形成特徵於導電線206的上方並與導電線206對準,如圖3A和圖3B所繪示的第一層302的特徵。圖案化第一層的材料為特徵的微影製程可包括形成光阻(或阻劑)層於第一層302的材料之毯覆式沉積上、將光阻曝光為一圖案、進行曝光後烘烤製程,以及顯影光阻以形成包括光阻的罩幕元件。罩幕元件可定義第一層302的特徵,使得第一層302的特徵位於導電線206上並與導電線206對準。在一些實施例中,然後,罩幕元件用來蝕刻第一層302的材料,以將上述材料從絕緣層208上方移除。蝕刻製程可包括乾式蝕刻、濕式蝕刻、及/或其他適 合的製程。需說明的是,第一層310可形成於金屬化層的每個金屬線上方。在一些實施例中,第一層包括位於每個金屬線上方的特徵,其中上方的介層窗將連接至金屬線。需說明的是,在使用如上述的微影圖案化的方法中,不形成抑制層(即抑制膜210)。
第一層302的材料為介電材料。在一實施例中,第一層302為氮化矽。第一層302之其他示例的介電材料包括碳氮化矽(SiCN)和碳氧氮化矽(SiCON)。可使用前述的選擇性沉積製程(例如預處理、處理和選擇性成長)來形成氮化矽、SiCN、SiCON的任一者及/或其他適合的組成。需說明的是,選擇第一層302的組成,以提供對下述的周圍絕緣層402的蝕刻選擇性。在一實施例中,相對於周圍的絕緣層402,第一層302的蝕刻選擇性為或大於約50%。
在導電線206上的第一層302具有高度H。在一些實施例中,高度H是藉由形成第一層302所沉積的材料之厚度來定義。在一些例子中,高度H為約5nm至50nm。高度H是藉由下述預定得到的介層窗結構長度(垂直延伸)而決定。在一些例子中,第一層302的特徵的寬度W為約等於導電線206的寬度。在一些例子中,寬度W為約5nm至25nm。
然後,方法100進行至方塊108,其形成絕緣層於基材上。絕緣層形成為與如上述方塊106的說明的第一層相鄰並相接。絕緣層可與第一層的特徵的側壁相接。請參考圖4A和圖4B,絕緣層402形成在基材202上。絕緣層208和絕緣層402可包括相同或不同的介電材料。在一些實施例 中,絕緣層402和絕緣層208的組成皆為氧化物。在一些實施例中,絕緣層402和絕緣層208為相同組成,例如:皆為相同的氧化物組成。在各種實施例中,絕緣層402包括如四乙氧基矽烷(tetraethyl orthosilicate;TEOS)氧化物、未摻雜的矽酸玻璃,或如硼磷矽酸鹽玻璃(BPSG)、熔融石英玻璃(FSG)、磷矽酸鹽玻璃(PSG)、硼摻雜的矽玻璃(BSG)之摻雜的氧化矽的低介電常數材料,及/或其他適合的介電材料。
絕緣層402可使用低壓化學氣相沉積、電漿加強型化學氣相沉積、流動式化學氣相沉積之化學氣相沉積技術來形成。
方法100進行至方塊110,其進行如化學機械研磨製程之平坦化製程。如圖4A和圖4B所繪示,在一些實施例中,形成絕緣層402使其設置在第一層302的上方。之後,如方塊110及圖5A和圖5B的例子所繪示,可回蝕絕緣層402以暴露出第一層302的頂表面,如絕緣層402A所繪示。在一些實施例,所述回蝕是藉由化學機械研磨製程進行。如圖5A和圖5B的例子所繪示,絕緣層402A的頂表面與第一層302的頂表面共平面。再者,如圖所繪示,絕緣層402A可與第一層302的側壁相接。
然後,方法100進行至方塊112,其蝕刻一開口於導電線的一部份上方的第一層中。開口可暴露出下方導電線的頂表面。可藉由預定的介層窗尺寸定義上述開口,如下述,所述介層窗形成於開口中。請參考圖6A和圖6B的例子,將開口602蝕刻於第一層302中。開口602暴露出導電 線206的頂表面。也可藉由絕緣層402A和第一層302的側壁來定義開口602。在一實施例中,上述蝕刻為濕式蝕刻、乾式蝕刻、電漿蝕刻的一種,或其他適合的蝕刻技術。在一些例子中,所述蝕刻為使用包括CH3F、O2及/或CH4的蝕刻劑之基於氟的電漿蝕刻。
如上述,絕緣層402A的組成使得絕緣層402A與第一層302不同。因此,在一些實施例中,第一層302的組成和周圍之絕緣層402A的組成之間具有蝕刻選擇性。因此,所述蝕刻可對第一層302有選擇性並局限於第一層302中,使得所得的開口602垂直對準導電線206,請參圖6B中所繪示的虛線602A的垂直對準。在一些實施例中,垂直對準為開口602和下層導電線206之間提供有利的自對準製程。在一些實施例中,第一層302的蝕刻率比周圍層的蝕刻率大至少50%。
開口602也可視為介層窗孔。開口602具有寬度W1,寬度W1實質與前述寬度W相同。在一些實施例中,開口602是藉由一或多個微影和蝕刻製程(如上述)來形成。微影製程可包括形成光阻層於絕緣層402A上、曝光光阻為一圖案以定義開口302,進行曝光後烘烤製程,以及顯影所述光阻以形成包括光阻的罩幕元件。然後,使用罩幕元件蝕刻開口至絕緣層402A中,直到導電線206暴露出來。如前述,蝕刻製程對第一層302的材料具有選擇性。需說明的是,在一些實施例中,由於第一層302所提供的蝕刻選擇性,疊設罩幕元件以定義開口602的操作可具有較大的對準窗。例如:藉由罩幕元件所定義的開口可向左/右移動(如圖6B所 示),或者在光阻罩幕元件中提供較大寬度的開口,所述較大寬度是大於所得開口602之寬度W1,從而暴露出部分的絕緣層402A。這是因為雖然絕緣層402A可從罩幕元件中暴露出來,但由於絕緣層402A的組成和第一層302的組成之間的蝕刻選擇性,絕緣層402A暴露出的部分不會被蝕刻。因此,特定實施例可為定義開口的罩幕元件和導電線206之間的疊設提供較大的容忍度(margin)。
然後,方法100進行至方塊114,其以導電材料填入開口中,以形成介層窗。請參考圖7A和圖7B,以導電材料702填入開口602中。導電材料702可包括複數個層,例如包括:阻障層、黏著層和上方的導體層。在一些實施例中,導電材料702包括阻障層,例如:鉭或氮化鉭。在一些實施例中,導電材料702包括金屬導體,如銅、鋁、鎢、鈷或其他適合的金屬。阻障層可藉由化學氣相沉積、物理氣相沉積或原子層沉積之技術來形成。金屬導體可藉由濺鍍、化學氣相沉積或電鍍之技術來形成。可使用上述沉積方法,使導電材料702的層溢出開口602,如圖7A和圖7B所繪示。
然後,方法100進行至方塊116,其進行另一平坦化製程。在一些實施例中,平坦化製程包括化學機械研磨製程。圖8A和圖8B的例子繪示進行接續的平坦化製程後的裝置200。具體而言,進行平坦化(例如化學機械研磨)製程,以移除在方塊114中沉積並設置於絕緣層402A的頂表面上方之過多的導電材料,留下剩下的導電層(例如阻障層和金屬導體)填於前述開口602中,從而提供介層窗702A。 介層窗702A可包括一或多層(例如一個阻障層和一個金屬導體層)。
然後,方法100進行至方塊118,其形成另一導電線。可藉由實質相似於上述方塊104所說明者來形成另一導電線。請參考圖9A、圖9B、圖10A、圖10B和圖10C,沉積導電材料902以形成導電線902A於介層窗702A上方,且導電線902A與介層窗702A連接。絕緣層904設置於絕緣層402A上方,並與導電線902A相接。導電線902A可實質相似於導電線206。在一實施中,導電線902A和導電線206包括相同組成。在一些實施例中,導電線902A位於導電層或金屬化層中,所述導電層或金屬化層比導電線206所在的導電層或金屬化層高一階。例如:導電線902A可設置在金屬-2(Metal-2),而導電線206設置在金屬-1(Metal-1)。絕緣層904可實質相似於上述說明的絕緣層402A及/或絕緣層208。在一實施例中,二個或更多的絕緣層904、絕緣層402A和絕緣層208包括相同組成。
導電材料902和,當然,導電線902A可包括複數個層,如阻障層、黏著層及/或金屬層。在一些實施例中,阻障層或黏著層包括鉭、氮化鉭、鈦、氮化鈦、鈷及/或其他適合的導電材料。在一些實施例中,銅層設置於阻障/黏著層上方。可做為導電線902A的其他示例導電材料包括鋁、鎢、鈷、多晶矽及/或其他適合的導體。在一實施例中,導電線902A包括阻障層(例如鉭或氮化鉭)及上方的銅導電線。在實施例中,阻障層包括一或多層的材料。
在一實施例中,導電線902A形成於絕緣層904中。在一些實施例中,絕緣層904包括低介電常數材料。絕緣層904的示例材料可包括但不限於四乙氧基矽烷(tetraethyl orthosilicate;TEOS)氧化物、未摻雜的矽酸玻璃,或如硼磷矽酸鹽玻璃(BPSG)、熔融石英玻璃(FSG)、磷矽酸鹽玻璃(PSG)、硼摻雜的矽玻璃(BSG)之摻雜的氧化矽,及/或其他適合的介電材料。
可藉由如低壓化學氣相沉積(LPCVD)、電漿加強型化學氣相沉積(PECVD)、流動式化學氣相沉積(FCVD)之化學氣相沉積技術或其他適合的沉積技術,將絕緣層904沉積於基材202上方。然後,可藉由化學機械研磨製程,平坦化或者凹陷絕緣層904,以使絕緣層904具有平坦的頂表面。在一些實施例中,隨後,以一或多個微影和蝕刻製程圖案化絕緣層904,以在絕緣層904中形成溝渠。微影製程可包括形成光阻(或阻劑)層於絕緣層904上、曝光所述光阻為一圖案、進行曝光後烘烤製程,以及顯影所述光阻以形成包含光阻的罩幕元件。然後,罩幕元件用來蝕刻溝渠於絕緣層904中。蝕刻製程可包括乾式蝕刻、濕式蝕刻及/或其他適合的製程。然後,形成導電線902A的材料902可形成於蝕刻的溝渠中,如圖9A和圖9B所示。例如:用來形成導電層902A的阻障/黏著及/或金屬材料902,可沉積於圖案化的絕緣層904中。在一些實施例中,可藉由如濺鍍、化學氣相沉積,及電鍍或無電電鍍的一或多個適合的技術,來沉積導電材料902。在沉積後,一或多個導電材料(例如阻 障層和金屬導體層)可溢出絕緣層904中的溝渠(請參圖9A和圖9B)。之後,可進行化學機械研磨製程,以平坦化裝置200的頂表面,從而移除絕緣層904上方多餘的阻障和金屬材料,請參圖10A和圖10B。保留溝渠中的阻障和金屬材料,以形成導電線902A。在一些實施例中,因為化學機械研磨製程,絕緣層904的頂表面和導電線902A的頂表面變成實質共平面。
導電線206、介層窗702A和導電線902A提供多層內連結構204的示範導電特徵。多層內連結構204設置於基材202上方,並連接基材202中/上方的各種主動及/或被動裝置,以形成包括裝置200的積體電路。在所示的實施例中,導電線206可形成第一金屬化線(例如,視為金屬-1),而導電線902A提供第二金屬化線(例如,視為金屬-2),並以介層窗702A內連接上述金屬化線。然而,上述僅為示例,且在其他實施例中,導電線206和導電線902A可形成多層內連結構204的任何金屬層。雖然未繪示,導電線206/902A和介層窗702A,透過多層內連結構204的其他下層或透過主動及/或被動裝置的末端(例如源極、汲極和閘極接觸),耦合至基材202中的主動及/或被動裝置。
需說明的是,圖10C繪示在剖線B-B’或者說從上方介層窗連接移開的導電線206。第一層302設置於導電線206上方並由絕緣層904、絕緣層402A和絕緣層208環繞。在一些實施例中,絕緣層904、絕緣層402A和絕緣層208的組成為氧化物,第一層302的組成為氮化物。如此, 第一層302的組成不同於一或多個絕緣層904、絕緣層402A和絕緣層208的組成。在一些實施例中,第一層302直接與導電線206的頂表面界面連接(interface)。
然後,方法100進行至方塊120,其可進行額外的製程。在一實施例中,進行額外的後段(back-end-of-the-line;BOEL)製程,如形成額外的金屬層和中介介電層,像是多層內連結構的額外特徵。
上述一或多個製程繪示使用鑲嵌製程形成介層窗702A和上方的金屬化層902A。包括雙鑲嵌製程的其他製程也可使用方法100來施行。
現在請參考圖11,其繪示可使用方法100的一或多個操作製造的裝置1102。裝置1102包括基材202,其實質相似於前述方法100的方塊102所說明的內容。主動裝置1104係建造於基材202上。在示範的實施例中,主動裝置1104為具有閘極結構1106和源極/汲極結構1108的電晶體。在一實施例中,主動裝置1104為鰭狀場效電晶體裝置,其設置於基材202延伸的主動區上。主動裝置1104設置在基材202的主動區上,而隔離特徵1110設置為與主動裝置1104相鄰。隔離特徵1110可為淺溝渠隔離特徵。
閘極結構1106可包括閘極介電層和閘極電極。可以了解的是,閘極結構1106可包含額外的層,如介面層、蓋層、擴散/阻障層、功函數層和其他適合的層。在一些實施例中,閘極介電層為高介電常數閘極介電質。高介電常數材料的例子包括HfO2、HfSiO、HfSiON、HfTaO、 HfTiO、HfZrO、氧化鋯、氧化鋁、二氧化鉿-氧化鋁(HfO2-Al2O3)合金、其他適合的高介電常數材料或上述的組合。在一些實施例中,閘極結構包括多晶矽閘極電極。在一些實施例中,閘極結構包括金屬閘極電極。閘極電極層可包括任何適合的材料,如多晶矽、鋁、鈦、鉭、鎢、鉬、氮化鉭、矽化鎳、矽化鈷、氮化鈦(TiN)、氮化鎢(WN)、鈦鋁(TiAl)、氮化鈦鋁(TiAlN)、碳氮化鉭(TaCN)、碳化鉭(TaC)、矽氮化鉭(TaSiN)、金屬合金、其他適合的材料或上述的組合。在一些實施例中,閘極間隙壁包括在閘極結構中。閘極間隙壁可為多層介電質,其用來補償接下來形成的摻雜區,如源極/汲極區。閘極間隙壁可進一步用來設計或修飾源極/汲極區(接面)的形貌。
源極/汲極結構1108可包括適當摻雜以提供主動裝置1104的半導體材料。在一些實施例中,源極/汲極結構1108為具有n型摻質或p型摻質摻雜之磊晶成長的特徵。

在另一實施例中,選擇性地蝕刻開口於第二介電層中包括進行蝕刻製程,其以大於第三介電層至少50%的蝕刻率蝕刻第二介電層。在一實施例中,第二介電層垂直對準第一金屬層。在一實施例中,形成第二介電層和第三介電層包括(1)處理第一介電層;(2)選擇性地成長第二介電層於第一金屬線上;(3)於選擇性地成長後,沉積第二材料以形成第三介電層於處理過的第一介電層。處理第一介電層的操作抑制第一介電層上方之第二介電層的成長。在另一實施例中,平坦化第二材料和特徵。
前述內容概述多個實施例之特徵,以使於本技術領域具有通常知識者可進一步了解本揭露之態樣。本技術領域具通常知識者應可輕易利用本揭露作為基礎,設計或潤飾其他製程及結構,藉以執行此處所描述之實施例的相同的目的及/或達到相同的優點。本技術領域具有通常知識者亦應可了解,上述相等的結構並未脫離本揭露之精神和範圍,且在不脫離本揭露之精神及範圍下,其可經潤飾、取代或替換。
