Abstract
The present disclosure provides a structure and a method to reduce electro-migration. An interconnect structure according to the present disclosure includes a conductive feature embedded in a dielectric layer, a capping barrier layer disposed over the conductive feature and the dielectric layer, and an adhesion layer sandwiched between the capping barrier layer and the dielectric layer. The adhesion layer includes a degree of crystallinity between about 40% and about 70%.
