摘要: A first and second substrate (24,25) are bonded to each other to form a 3D assembly of micro-electronic components. Both substrates comprise a plurality of first cavities (17) open to the respective bonding surfaces (30) and at least one substrate comprises a second cavity (10) that is larger than the first cavities in terms of its in-plane dimensions, and possibly also in terms of its depth. Prior to bonding, an electrically conductive layer (16) is produced conformally on each substrate. Said layer is patterned in the large cavity or cavities (10) and in said large cavity or cavities a micro-electronic device or a portion thereof (11) is fabricated. Thereafter, the bonding surfaces are planarized, removing the conformal layer (16) from said bonding surfaces (30), after which the substrates are bonded to form the assembly, wherein the first cavities of both substrates are brought into mutual contact to form an electrical connection. Possibly, the first cavities (17) may be filled with a contact material (33) prior to the planarization step. Any device in the large cavities may be contacted through suitable connection means such as TSV connections (4,5) or back end of line interconnect levels.

摘要: The invention is related to a semiconductor component, for example an integrated circuit chip, comprising a semiconductor substrate (1) having active devices (7) at the front side thereof and I/O terminals (19) at the back side of the component. The terminals are connected to the active devices through TSV connections (16b) and buried rails (15b) in an area (5) of the substrate that is separate from the area (4) in which the active devices are located. According to the invention, the I/O TSV connections (16b) are located in a floating well (25) of the substrate that is separated from the rest of the substrate by a second well (26) formed of material of the opposite conductivity type compared to the material of the floating well. The second well (26) comprises at least one contact (28) configured to be coupled to a voltage that is suitable for reverse-biasing the junction (27) between the floating well (25) and the second well (26). In this way, a small capacitance is placed in series with the large parasitic capacitance generated by a thin dielectric liner that isolates the I/O TSVs and I/O rails from the substrate, thereby mitigating the negative effect of the large parasitic capacitance. According to preferred embodiments, additional contacts and conductors are provided which are configured to create an ESD protection circuit for protecting the I/O TSVs (16b) and the I/O rails (15b) from electrostatic discharges.

摘要: In an IC according to the invention, power and ground rails are incorporated in the front end of line (FEOL). These power and ground rails are at the same level as the active devices and are therefore buried deep in the IC, as seen from the front of the chip. The connection from the buried interconnects to the source and drain areas is established by so-called 'local interconnects'. These local interconnects are not part of the back end of line, but they are for the most part embedded in a pre-metal dielectric layer onto which the BEOL is produced. Further according to the invention, the power delivery network of the IC is located in its entirety on the backside of the chip. The PDN is connected to the buried interconnects through suitable connections, for example metal-filled vias of the type known as 'through-semiconductor vias' or 'through silicon vias' (TSV). The invention is equally related to methods for producing an IC according to the invention.

摘要: A quantum bit (qubit) chip (10) is disclosed which comprises two or more qubit wafers (11, 13), preferably having a thickness less than 1 μm, and one or more spacer elements (12, 14) which are alternately arranged along a common axis, and a conductive arrangement (15) electrically connecting the qubit wafers. The conductive arrangement (15) comprises at least one superconducting (SC) via per qubit wafer and spacer element, the SC via(s) passing through the respective qubit wafer or spacer element, preferably in form of a SC nano through-silicon-via (nTSV). A corresponding fabrication method is also disclosed.
