Abstract:
Described are semiconductor devices and methods of making semiconductor devices with a barrier layer comprising cobalt and manganese nitride. Also described are semiconductor devices and methods of making same with a barrier layer comprising CoMn(N) and, optionally, an adhesion layer.

Claim (Index 17):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a substrate having a dielectric deposited thereon, the dielectric comprising at least one feature formed therein, the feature having at least one sidewall; and a barrier layer having a thickness of less than or equal to about 25 \u212b comprising cobalt and manganese nitride disposed on the dielectric and forming a substantially conformal film, the cobalt to manganese composition is in the range of about 1:5 to about 5:1 on an atomic basis, the barrier layer being continuous at a thickness of about 15 \u212b; an adhesion layer deposited on the barrier and comprising ruthenium; and a fill layer comprising one or more of copper or aluminum on the barrier layer and adhesion layer.
