Deposition of hard-mask with minimized hillocks and bubbles

For forming an IC (integrated circuit) structure over a conductive surface, a hard-mask is deposited on the conductive surface with a low temperature in a range of from about 220° Celsius to about 320° Celsius for minimized formation of hillocks. Generally, formation of hillocks and bubbles from dep...

Zusammenfassung:For forming an IC (integrated circuit) structure over a conductive surface, a hard-mask is deposited on the conductive surface with a low temperature in a range of from about 220° Celsius to about 320° Celsius for minimized formation of hillocks. Generally, formation of hillocks and bubbles from deposition of the hard-mask are minimized on the conductive surface. The hard-mask is etched away from the conductive surface, and the IC structure is formed over the conductive surface after the hard-mask is etched away.
