ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device to minimize a terminal effect in an ECP process is disclosed. The method for fabricating a semiconductor device to minimize a terminal effect in an ECP process, comprises depositing a barrier metallic layer on the top of a damascene pattern formed through an etching process, forming an Ag seed layer by employing a heating process for the reaction of the surface of the barrier metallic layer and a NH3solution of AgNO3and reductive materials in a reactor, plating a Cu layer by using the Ag seed layer through an ECP process and forming a Cu interconnect through an annealing process and a Cu CMP process.The method for fabricating a semiconductor device according to the present invention provides the improvement of uniformity by forming a seed layer with low-resistivity regardless of a thin thickness in order to avoid a terminal effect in an ECP process.
