ABSTRACT:
Generally, the process includes depositing a barrier layer on a feature formed in a dielectric layer, decorating the barrier layer with a metal, performing a grafting process, initiating a copper layer and then filing the feature by use of a bulk copper fill process. Copper features formed according to aspects described herein have desirable adhesion properties to a barrier layer formed on a semiconductor substrate and demonstrate enhanced electromigration and stress migration results in the fabricated devices formed on the substrate.
