    摘要: A liner-to-liner direct contact is formed between an upper metallic liner of a conductive via and a lower metallic liner of a metal line below. The liner-to-liner contact impedes abrupt electromigration failures and enhances electromigration resistance of the metal interconnect structure. The at least one dielectric material portion may include a plurality of dielectric material portions arranged to insure direct contact of between the upper metallic liner and the lower metallic liner. Alternatively, the at least one dielectric material portion may comprise a single dielectric portion of which the area has a sufficient lateral overlap with the area of the conductive via to insure that a liner-to-liner direct contact is formed within the range of allowed lithographic overlay variations.

    摘要: Disclosed is a design structure for a semiconductor chip structure that incorporates a localized, on-chip, repair scheme for devices that exhibit performance degradation as a result of negative bias temperature instability (NBTI). The repair scheme utilizes a heating element above each device. The heating element is configured so that it can receive transmission line pulses and, thereby generate enough heat to raise the adjacent device to a temperature sufficient to allow for performance recovery. Specifically, high temperatures (e.g., between approximately 300-400° C. or greater) in the absence of bias can accelerate the recovery process to a matter of seconds as opposed to days or months. The heating element can be activated, for example, on demand, according to a pre-set service schedule, and/or in response to feedback from a device performance monitor.
