Referring to fig. 2, a semiconductor substrate 100 and a dielectric layer 101 formed on the semiconductor substrate 100 are provided, wherein a via hole 102 is formed in the dielectric layer 101. The dielectric layer 101 may be an interlayer dielectric layer 101 or an inter-metal dielectric layer 101. And etching the dielectric layer 101 by adopting a Damascus etching process to form a via hole 102 in the dielectric layer 101. The via hole 102 may be a damascene structure obtained by etching the dielectric layer 101 through a damascene etching process, and the damascene structure includes a trench (trench) and a through hole (via).
After etching the via hole 102 in the dielectric layer 101, metal is deposited in the via hole 102 to form a metal interconnection line 103. As shown in fig. 3, a barrier metal layer 105 is electroplated on the surface of the dielectric layer 101 and the inner wall of the via hole 102, and then a metal material is electroplated on the barrier metal layer 105 to form a metal interconnection line 103. The material of the barrier metal layer 105 may be tantalum (Ta), tantalum nitride (TaN), or the like. The metal material of the metal interconnection line 103 may be at least one of copper (Cu), tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), or the like, or an alloy thereof.
After the metal interconnection line 103 is formed, the metal interconnection line 103 is polished to a position below the surface of the dielectric layer 101 by using a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process. Specifically, the barrier metal layer 105 on the dielectric layer 101 is chemically and mechanically polished until the upper surface of the dielectric layer 101 is exposed. The metal interconnect 103 is subjected to an excessive cmp until the upper surface of the metal interconnect 103 is lower than the upper surface of the dielectric layer 101, as shown in fig. 4. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the over-polishing of the metal interconnection line 103 may be realized by adjusting the duration of the chemical mechanical polishing process or the process conditions such as the polishing pressure.
A cobalt-containing capping layer 104 is then selectively deposited over the metal interconnect lines 103 such that the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 is only over the metal interconnect lines 103. Specifically, a cobalt-containing capping layer 104 is deposited on the surface of the metal interconnect line 103 using a selective deposition technique. The embodiments of the present disclosure may deposit the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 on the surface of the metal interconnect line 103 by using a mixed gas of cobalt sulfide and cobalt chloride. Selective deposition of the cobalt-containing capping layer 104, i.e., deposition of the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 only on the metal interconnect line 103, can be achieved by adjusting the process conditions of the gas density, deposition duration, pressure, etc. of the mixed gas.

After the upper surface of the dielectric layer 101 is leveled with the upper surface of the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 by chemical mechanical polishing, a stop layer 106 is deposited over the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 and the dielectric layer 101, as shown in fig. 1. The material of stop layer 106 may be silicon nitride.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the cobalt-containing covering layer 104 is selectively formed on the upper portion of the metal interconnection line 103, and the cobalt-containing covering layer 104 is used for loading stress migration and electromigration, so that charges in the metal interconnection line 103 are effectively prevented from migrating into the dielectric layer 101, the damage of the metal interconnection line 103 due to the stress migration or electromigration is reduced, and the reliability of the semiconductor device is improved. The required film quality can be manufactured by a deposition process and a chemical mechanical polishing process without adding a complex process, and the process is simple and low in cost.

A barrier metal layer 105 is electroplated on the surface of the dielectric layer 101 and the inner wall of the via hole 102, and then a metal material is electroplated on the barrier metal layer 105 to form a metal interconnection line 103. The formation processes of the via hole 102, the barrier metal layer 105 and the metal interconnection line 103 are all the same as those of the manufacturing methods provided in the above embodiments, and are not described herein again.
After the metal interconnection line 103 is formed, the metal interconnection line 103 is polished to a position below the surface of the dielectric layer 101 by using a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, only the metal interconnection line 103 is ground, the barrier metal layer 105 is not ground, and the metal interconnection line 103 is over-ground so that the upper surface of the metal interconnection line 103 is lower than the upper surface of the dielectric layer 101, as shown in fig. 7. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the over-polishing of the metal interconnection line 103 may be realized by adjusting the duration of the chemical mechanical polishing process or the process conditions such as the polishing pressure.
A cobalt-containing capping layer 104 is then selectively deposited over the metal interconnect lines 103 such that the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 is only over the metal interconnect lines 103. Specifically, a cobalt-containing capping layer 104 is deposited on the surface of the metal interconnect line 103 using a selective deposition technique. The embodiments of the present disclosure may deposit the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 on the surface of the metal interconnect line 103 by using a mixed gas of cobalt sulfide and cobalt chloride. Selective deposition of the cobalt-containing capping layer 104, i.e., deposition of the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 only on the metal interconnect line 103, can be achieved by adjusting the process conditions of the gas density, deposition duration, pressure, etc. of the mixed gas.
It is inevitable during the deposition of the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 that some of the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 will be deposited on the barrier metal layer 105 on the surface of the dielectric layer 101, as shown in fig. 8. In order to avoid short circuit between the metal interconnection line 103 between adjacent vias 102 through the barrier metal layer 105 and the cobalt-containing capping layer 104, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 and the barrier metal layer 105 on the dielectric layer 101 are further subjected to chemical mechanical polishing until the upper surface of the dielectric layer 101 is exposed, and the upper surface of the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 is flush with the upper surface of the dielectric layer 101, and the positional relationship between the metal interconnection line 103, the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 and the dielectric layer 101 after the chemical mechanical polishing is shown in fig. 6. The upper surface of the dielectric layer 101 is flush with the upper surface of the cobalt-containing covering layer 104 by chemical mechanical polishing, that is, the node separation is realized by chemical mechanical polishing, and the process is simple.
After the upper surface of the dielectric layer 101 is leveled with the upper surface of the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 by chemical mechanical polishing, a stop layer 106 is deposited over the cobalt-containing capping layer 104 and the dielectric layer 101, as shown in fig. 1. The material of stop layer 106 may be silicon nitride.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the cobalt-containing covering layer 104 is selectively formed on the upper portion of the metal interconnection line 103, and the cobalt-containing covering layer 104 is used for loading stress migration and electromigration, so that charges in the metal interconnection line 103 are effectively prevented from migrating into the dielectric layer 101, the damage of the metal interconnection line 103 due to the stress migration or electromigration is reduced, and the reliability of the semiconductor device is improved. The required film quality can be manufactured by a deposition process and a chemical mechanical polishing process without adding a complex process, and the process is simple and low in cost.
