Fluorine-free precursors and methods for the deposition of conformal conductive films for nanointerconnect seed and fill

Abstract

A method including introducing a fluorine-free organometallic precursor in the presence of a substrate; and forming a conductive layer including a moiety of the organometallic precursor on the substrate according to an atomic layer or chemical vapor deposition process. A method including forming an opening through a dielectric layer to a contact point; introducing a fluorine-free copper film precursor and a co-reactant; and forming a copper-containing seed layer in the opening. A system including a computer including a microprocessor electrically coupled to a printed circuit board, the microprocessor including conductive interconnect structures formed from fluorine-free organometallic precursor.
