Abstract

A method of forming a barrier layer is described. A dielectric layer is formed on a substrate. The dielectric layer comprises an opening exposing a portion of the substrate. A metallic layer, which is conformal to the opening, is formed on the dielectric layer. A first metallic nitride layer, which is conformal to the opening, is formed on the first metallic layer by chemical vapor deposition. The second metallic nitride layer, which is conformal to the opening, is formed on the first metallic nitride layer.
