Abstract

The present invention is related to a metallization structure on a fluorine-containing dielectric. This metallization structure includes a conductive pattern; a fluorine-containing dielectric; and a barrier layer containing a material, i.e. a near noble metal such as Co, Ni, Pt, and Pd. The barrier layer includes at least a first part, being positioned between the fluorine-containing dielectric and the conductive pattern, the first part containing at least a first and a second sub-layer, the first sub-layer contacting the fluorine-containing dielectric being impermeable for fluorine.
