    摘要: A method includes depositing a dielectric layer, depositing a plurality of mandrel strips over the dielectric layer, and forming a plurality of spacers on sidewalls of the plurality of mandrel strips to form a plurality of mask groups. Each of the plurality of mandrel strips and two of the plurality of spacers form a mask group in the plurality of mask groups. The method further includes forming a mask strip connecting two neighboring mask groups in the plurality of mask groups, using the plurality of mask groups and the mask strip collectively as an etching mask to etch the dielectric layer and to form trenches in the dielectric layer, and filling a conductive material into the trenches to form a plurality of conductive features.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes an example method for cell placement in an integrated circuit (IC) layout design. The method includes defining a layout unit for a circuit implementation and arranging multiple layout units into a layout cell. The method also includes editing the layout cell to connect a first set of the layout units to be representative of the circuit implementation and to connect a second set of the layout units to be representative of a non-functional circuit. Further, the method includes inserting one or more dummy fill structures in areas of the layout cell unoccupied by the first and second sets of layout units.

    摘要: A device, such as a computer system, includes an interconnection device die and at least two additional device dice. The additional device dies can be system on integrated chip (SOIC) dies laying face to face (F2F) on the interconnection device die. The interconnection device die includes electrical connectors on one surface, enabling connection to and/or among the additional device dice. The interconnection device die includes at least one redistribution circuit structure, which may be an integrated fan out (InFO) structure, and at least one through-silicon via (TSV). The TSV enables connection between a signal line, power line or ground line, from an opposite surface of the interconnection device die to the redistribution circuit structure and/or electrical connectors. At least one of the additional dice can be a three-dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC) die with face to back (F2B) stacking.

    摘要: A method for determining an effective capacitance to facilitate a timing analysis using a processor generally comprises generating a model that is representative of a coupling between at least two TSVs. An impedance profile between the two TSVs as a function of at least one parameter is determined by using the model, wherein the impedance profile includes a plurality of impedance values corresponding to respective values of the parameter. An effective capacitance value corresponding to each respective impedance value is determined. An RC extraction is conducted of a design layout of a TSV circuit based on each determined effective capacitance value to generate an RC network.

    摘要: An active anti-ESD pod for transporting photomask (reticle) comprises six body portions delimiting the container, an electrically conducting plate on the top portion, and an electrically conducting handle connected to the plate. An active charge sinker combined with a tag identifying the container or placed onto the photomask itself is provided to absorb the static electricity and to thus prevent charge accumulation that may otherwise cause ESD damage to the photomask.

    摘要: FinFETs in which a swelled material within the fin, typically an oxide of the fin semiconductor, causes strain that significantly increases charge carrier mobility within the FinFET channel. The concept can be applied to either p-type or n-type FinFETs. For p-type FinFETs the swelled material is positioned underneath the source and drain regions. For n-type FinFETs the swelled material is positioned underneath the channel region. The swelled material can be used with or without strain-inducing epitaxy on the source and drain areas and can provide greater strain than is achievable by strain-inducing epitaxy alone.
