Abstract

A method is provided for fabricating a semiconductor structure. The method includes providing a substrate having an upper surface and a bottom surface; and forming a deep hole in the substrate from the upper surface. The method also includes forming an amorphous silicon layer on a side surface and a bottom surface of the deep hole to promote a preferred crystal orientation in subsequently formed layers. Further, the method includes forming a barrier layer having a preferred orientation along the (111) crystal face on the barrier layer. Further, the method also includes forming a metal layer having a preferred orientation along the (111) crystal face on the barrier layer to fill the through hole.
