A semiconductor device includes an oxide semiconductor layer, disposed over a substrate. A source electrode of a metal nitride is disposed on the oxide semiconductor layer. A drain electrode of the metal nitride is disposed on the oxide semiconductor layer. A metal-nitride oxidation layer is formed on a surface of the source electrode and the drain electrode. A ratio of a thickness of the metal-nitride oxidation layer to a thickness of the drain electrode or the source electrode is equal to or less than 0.2.

Semiconductor device and method for fabricating the same

A method of electro-chemical plating is disclosed. The catholyte is delivered to the cathode chamber. The catholyte is controlled at a first temperature before flowing into the cathode chamber. The anolyte is provided at room temperature. The temperature of the anolyte is lowered from the room temperature to a second temperature before delivering into the anode chamber. The second temperature is equal to or lower than the first temperature. The plating surface of the substrate is immersed in the electrolyte. The substrate is biased to a direct current (DC) voltage. The biased substrate attracts ions of the metal in the electrolyte toward the plating surface so as to electroplating the metal onto the substrate.

A method of fabricating a metal layer includes performing a first re-sputtering to remove a metal compound formed on a conductive layer. The first re-sputtering includes bombarding the metal compound and a dielectric layer on the conductive layer by inert ions and metal atoms. Then, a barrier is formed on the dielectric layer and the conductive layer. Later, a bottom of the barrier is removed. Subsequently, a metal layer is formed to cover the barrier.
