Abstract
Through via holes are prepared for metallization using ALD and PEALD processing. Each via is coated with a titanium nitride barrier layer having a thickness ranging from 20 to 200 Å. A ruthenium sealing layer is formed over the titanium nitride barrier layer wherein the sealing layer is formed without oxygen to prevent oxidation of the titanium nitride barrier layer. A ruthenium nucleation layer is formed over the sealing layer wherein the nucleation layer is formed with oxygen in order to oxidize carbon during the application of the Ru nucleation layer. The sealing layer is formed by a PEALD method using plasma excited nitrogen radicals instead of oxygen.
