Abstract

A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a dielectric layer on a substrate; forming a trench in the dielectric layer; forming a first liner in the trench, wherein the first liner comprises Co—Ru alloy; forming a metal layer on the first liner; and planarizing the metal layer and the first liner to form a metal interconnection.

Claims (17)

1. A method for fabricating semiconductor device, comprising:

forming a dielectric layer on a substrate;

forming a trench in the dielectric layer;

forming a second liner in the trench;

forming a third liner on the second liner;

performing an anneal process to transform the second liner and the third liner into a first liner in the trench, wherein the first liner comprises Co—Ru alloy;

forming a metal layer on the first liner, wherein the Co—Ru alloy contacts the metal layer directly; and

planarizing the metal layer and the first liner to form a metal interconnection.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a barrier layer in the trench before forming the first liner.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the barrier layer comprises titanium nitride (TiN).

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing the anneal process to form the first liner on the second liner.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing the anneal process to form the first liner between the second liner and the third liner.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing the anneal process after forming the metal layer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second liner and the third liner comprise different thicknesses.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second liner and the third liner comprise same thickness.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second liner and the third liner are selected from the group consisting of cobalt (Co) and ruthenium (Ru).

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metal layer comprises copper (Cu).
