Abstract
Substantial improvements have been achieved in interconnects with 90nm pitch. Solutions for an optimized patterning and metallization will be presented (e.g. ULK treatments during etch, complete metal hard-mask removal by wet-clean, ultra-thin PVD liner). A particular challenge for a semiconductor foundry is the band-width of customer specific designs and requirements. Novel design dependent process strategies have been developed. Transferring this learning will be crucial for a successful ramp of subsequent technologies.
