ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device and fabrication thereof. An opening is formed in a first dielectric layer, exposing an active region of the transistor, and an atomic layer deposited (ALD) TaN barrier is conformably formed in the opening, at a thickness less than 20 Å. A copper layer is formed over the atomic layer deposited (ALD) TaN barrier to fill the opening.
