ABSTRACT:
Novel interconnect structures possessing a OSG or polymeric-based (90 nm and beyond BEOL technologies) in which advanced plasma processing is utilized to reduce post lithographic CD non-uniformity (“line edge roughness”) in semiconductor devices. The novel interconnect structure has enhanced liner and seed conformality and is therefore capable of delivering improved device performance, functionality and reliability.
