摘要:
A method is described for providing a body of first material and a body of second material in a chemical environment wherein the first material contains first constituents having a lower and higher oxidation state and wherein the second material contains constituents having an oxidation state of energy greater than lower oxidation state of the first constituent. The environment is further provided with first cations energetically disposed for receiving electrons from the first constituents but not energetically disposed for receiving electrons from the second constituents. Electrons transfer from the first constituents to the first cations which are transformed thereby into second cations of lower oxidation state resulting in first body releasing into the environment third cations which are cations of the first (lower) oxidation state of the first constituent. The environment is further provided with an agent which consumes the second and third cations thereby permitting release into the environment additional ones of the third cations resulting in the first body being preferably etched with respect to the second body. The method is useful to etch copper in the presence of more highly reactive materials such as chrome, lead, tin, titanium, aluminum, iron, cobalt, and galvanically more active gold and nickel. The method is useful for forming structures containing copper having an overlying layer of the more highly reactive material without the requirement of the use of a resist material.

A method of forming an adherent layer of metallurgy on a ceramic substrate which includes the steps of obtaining a ceramic material containing a polymeric binder and copper metallurgy patterns within the ceramic body. In one embodiment of the invention, the ceramic body also contains MgO.Thereafter, a surface layer of metallurgy is formed on the surface of the ceramic body. In one embodiment, the surface layer is nickel and in another embodiment, the surface layer is copper or gold.Then, the ceramic body undergoes a sintering cycle which includes the steps of pyrolysis, binder burnoff and, lastly, densification and, in some cases, crystallization. During densification and crystallization, there is a predetermined steam atmosphere which meets the following requirements: a partial pressure of oxygen less than that necessary to satisfy the equilibrium equation 4Cu+O.sub.2 =2Cu.sub.2 O; and a partial pressure of oxygen less than or equal to that necessary to satisfy the equilibrium equation 2Ni+O.sub.2 =2NiO for nickel in said surface metallurgy.

The present invention related to CNT filled polymer composite system possessing a high thermal conductivity and high temperature stability so that it is a highly thermally conductive for use in 3D and 4D integration for joining device sub-laminate layers. The CNT/polymer composite also has a CTE close to that of Si, enabling a reduced wafer structural warping during high temperature processing cycling. The composition is tailored to be suitable for coating, curing and patterning by means conventionally known in the art.

A process and resultant article of manufacture made by such process comprises forming through vias needed to connect a bottom device layer in a bottom silicon wafer to the one in the top device layer in a top silicon wafer comprising a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. Through vias are disposed in such a way that they extend from the middle of the line (MOL) interconnect of the top wafer to the buried oxide (BOX) layer of the SOI wafer with appropriate insulation provided to isolate them from the SOI device layer.

A computer readable medium is provided that is encoded with a program comprising instructions for performing a method for fabricating a 3D integrated circuit structure. Provided are an interface wafer including a first wiring layer and through-silicon vias, and a first active circuitry layer wafer including active circuitry. The first active circuitry layer wafer is bonded to the interface wafer. Then, a first portion of the first active circuitry layer wafer is removed such that a second portion remains attached to the interface wafer. A stack structure including the interface wafer and the second portion of the first active circuitry layer wafer is bonded to a base wafer. Next, the interface wafer is thinned so as to form an interface layer, and metallizations coupled through the through-silicon vias in the interface layer to the first wiring layer are formed on the interface layer.

A device comprises a heater, a dielectric layer, a phase-change element, and a capping layer. The dielectric layer is disposed at least partially on the heater and defines an opening having a lower portion and an upper portion. The phase-change element occupies the lower portion of the opening and is in thermal contact with the heater. The capping layer overlies the phase-change element and occupies the upper portion of the opening. At least a fraction of the phase-change element is operative to change between lower and higher electrical resistance states in response to an application of an electrical signal to the heater.

A method for forming a self aligned pattern on an existing pattern on a substrate comprising applying a coating of a solution containing a masking material in a carrier, the masking material having an affinity for portions of the existing pattern; and allowing at least a portion of the masking material to preferentially assemble to the portions of the existing pattern. The pattern may be comprised of a first set of regions of the substrate having a first atomic composition and a second set of regions of the substrate having a second atomic composition different from the first composition. The first set of regions may include one or more metal elements and the second set of regions may include a dielectric. The first and second regions may be treated to have different surface properties. Structures made in accordance with the method. Compositions useful for practicing the method.

An enhanced 3D integration structure comprises a logic microprocessor chip bonded to a collection of vertically stacked memory slices and an optional set of outer vertical slices comprising optoelectronic devices. Such a device enables both high memory content in close proximity to the logic circuits and a high bandwidth for logic to memory communication. Additionally, the provision of optoelectronic devices in the outer slices of the vertical slice stack enables high bandwidth direct communication between logic processor chips on adjacent enhanced 3D modules mounted next to each other or on adjacent packaging substrates. A method to fabricate such structures comprises using a template assembly which enables wafer format processing of vertical slice stacks.
