More Information
Summary:Implementations of the present disclosure provide methods for preventing contact damage or oxidation after via/trench opening formation. In one example, the method includes forming an opening in a structure on the substrate to expose a portion of a surface of an electrically conductive feature, and bombarding a surface of a mask layer of the structure using energy species formed from a plasma to release reactive species from the mask layer, wherein the released reactive species form a barrier layer on the exposed surface of the electrically conductive feature.
