Contact and Method for Making the Same
The present application discloses a contact, which comprises a contact opening, and a Ti layer, a glue layer and a tungsten layer which completely fill the contact opening; the Ti layer is subjected to annealing treatment; the tungsten layer comprises a tungsten seed layer and a tungsten body layer; the glue layer consists of a TiN layer which is divided into a plurality of TiN sub-layers, all or part of the TiN sub-layers are subjected to the annealing treatment, and the size of grains of the TiN sub-layer subjected to the annealing treatment is limited by the thickness of the corresponding TiN sub-layer. The present application further discloses a method for making a contact. The present application can prevent the annealing treatment of the TiSi layer from producing large lattice grains in the glue layer, thus can make the tungsten seed layer be a continuous structure.

Barrier layer formation for conductive feature
Embodiments described herein relate generally to one or more methods for forming a barrier layer for a conductive feature in semiconductor processing. In some embodiments, an opening is formed through a dielectric layer to a conductive feature. A barrier layer is formed in the opening along a sidewall of the dielectric layer and on a surface of the conductive feature. Forming the barrier layer includes depositing a layer including using a precursor gas. The precursor gas has a first incubation time for deposition on the surface of the conductive feature and has a second incubation time for deposition on the sidewall of the dielectric layer. The first incubation time is greater than the second incubation time. A conductive fill material is formed in the opening and on the barrier layer.
