A method of fabricating a waveguide device is disclosed. The method includes providing a substrate having an elector-interconnection region and a waveguide region and forming a patterned dielectric layer and a patterned redistribution layer (RDL) over the substrate in the electro-interconnection region. The method also includes bonding the patterned RDL to a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) through a bonding stack. A reflecting-mirror trench is formed in the substrate in the waveguide region, and a reflecting layer is formed over a reflecting-mirror region inside the waveguide region. The method further includes forming and patterning a bottom cladding layer in a wave-tunnel region inside the waveguide region and forming and patterning a core layer and a top cladding layer in the waveguide region.

The present disclosure relates to a structure and method to create a self-repairing dielectric material for semiconductor device applications. A porous dielectric material is deposited on a substrate, and exposed with treating agent particles such that the treating agent particles diffuse into the dielectric material. A dense non-porous cap is formed above the dielectric material which encapsulates the treating agent particles within the dielectric material. The dielectric material is then subjected to a process which creates damage to the dielectric material. A chemical reaction is initiated between the treating agent particles and the damage, repairing the damage. A gradient concentration resulting from the consumption of treating agent particles by the chemical reaction promotes continuous diffusion the treating agent particles towards the damaged region of the dielectric material, continuously repairing the damage.

The disclosure provides mechanisms of performing metal chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) without significant loss of copper and a dielectric film of damascene structures. The mechanisms use a metal CMP stop layer made of a low-k dielectric film with a porogen, which significantly reduces the removal rate of the metal CMP stop layer by metal CMP. The metal CMP stop layer is converted into a porous low-k dielectric film after a cure (or curing) to remove or convert the porogen. The low-k value, such as equal to or less than about 2.6, of the metal CMP stop layer makes the impact of using of the metal CMP stop layer on RC delay from minimum to none. Further the CMP stop layer protects the porous low-k dielectric film underneath from exposure to water, organic compounds, and mobile ions in the CMP slurry.

The present disclosure is directed to a method of manufacturing an interconnect structure in which a low-k dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate followed by formation of a copper or copper alloy layer over the low-k dielectric layer. The copper or copper alloy layer is patterned and etched to form a copper body having recesses, which are then filled with a low-k dielectric material. The method allows for formation of a damascene structures without encountering the various problems presented by non-planar features and by porus low-K dielectric damage.

A method for enhancing adhesion between adjacent dielectric layers, particularly in the formation of trenches and vias in the layers during the fabrication of semiconductor integrated circuits on wafer substrates. The method may include providing a via dielectric layer on a substrate above a metal conductive layer in the substrate, providing an adhesive layer on the via dielectric layer, providing a trench dielectric layer on the adhesive layer, etching a via in the via dielectric layer, etching a trench in the trench dielectric layer, filling the via and trench with a metal filling layer, and planarizing the filling layer. The adhesive layer between the via dielectric layer and the trench dielectric layer prevents CMP-induced peeling during the planarization step, and cracking of the layers during the package step.
