ABSTRACT:
A manufacturing method for an integrated circuit has a substrate with a semiconductor device thereon. A channel dielectric layer is deposited over the device and has an opening provided therein. A reducing process is performed in order to reduce the oxidation on the conductor and a conformal atomic liner is deposited in an atomic layer thickness to line the opening in the channel dielectric layer. A barrier layer is deposited over the conformal atomic liner and a seed layer is deposited over the barrier layer. A conductor core layer is deposited on the seed layer, filling the opening over the barrier layer and connecting to the semiconductor device.
