摘要： A method for forming interconnections for semiconductor fabrication and semiconductor devices have such interconnections are described. A first patterned dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate and has a first opening filed with conductive material. Another patterned dielectric layer is formed over the first dielectric layer and has a second opening over at least a portion of the conductive material. The first patterned dielectric layer may serve as an etch-stop in patterning the other patterned dielectric layer. Also, a dielectric etch-stop layer may be formed over the first patterned dielectric layer and over the conductive material before the other patterned dielectric layer has been formed. This dielectric etch-stop layer may serve as an etch-stop in patterning the other patterned dielectric layer. The second opening exposes a portion of the dielectric etch-stop layer. The exposed portion of the dielectric etch-stop layer is removed. The second opening is filled with conductive material.

摘要： An electrical interconnect structure comprising a diffusion barrier and a method of forming the structure over a semiconductor substrate. A bi-layer diffusion barrier is formed over the substrate. The barrier comprises a capturing layer beneath a blocking layer. The blocking layer is both thicker than the capturing layer and is unreactive with the capturing layer. A conductive layer, thicker than the blocking layer, is then formed over the barrier. While the conductive layer is unreactive with the blocking layer of the barrier, the conductive layer is reactive with the capturing layer of the barrier.

摘要： Silicon-rich silicides of titanium and tantalum have been found to be suitable for use as the gate metal in semiconductor integrated circuits replacing polysilicon altogether. Such silicon-rich silicides, formed by sintering a cosputtered alloy with silicon to metal ratio of three as in deposited film, are stable even on gate oxide. The use of these compounds leads to stable, low resistivity gates and eliminates the need for the high resistivity polysilicon gate.

摘要： An interconnect structure for microelectronic devices indudes a plurality of patterned, spaced apart, substantially co-planar, conductive lines, a first portion of the plurality of conductive lines having a first Intralayer dielectric of a first dielectric constant therebetween, and a second portion of the plurality of conductive lines having a second intralayer dielectric of a second dielectric constant therebetween. By providing in-plane selectability of dielectric constant, in-plane decoupling capacitance, as between power supply nodes, can be increased, while in-plane parasitic capacitance between signal lines can be reduced.

摘要： A process for forming air gaps in an interconnect system is disclosed. At least two conductive lines are formed upon a substrate. A low-dielectric constant material (LDCM) is formed between the at least two conductive lines. Formation of the LDCM creates first and second adhesive forces between the LDCM and the at least two conductive lines and between the LDCM and the substrate, respectively. The LDCM is expanded. A dielectric layer is formed onto the LDCM and the at least two conductive lines. Formation of the dielectric layer creates a third adhesive force between the LDCM and the dielectric layer. The LDCM is contracted. Contraction of the LDCM resulting from a fourth force within the LDCM. Each of the first, second, and third adhesive forces are substantially stronger than the fourth force.

摘要： A high density, low capacitance, interconnect structure for microelectronic devices has unlanded vias formed with organic polymer intralayer dielectric material having substantially vertical sidewalls. A method of producing unlanded vias includes forming a planarized organic polymer intra-layer dielectric between conductors, forming an inorganic dielectric over the conductor and organic polymer layer, patterning a photoresist layer such that openings in the photoresist layer overlap portions of both the conductor and the intra-layer dielectric, etching the inorganic dielectric and then concurrently stripping the photoresist and anisotropically etching the organic polymer intra-layer dielectric. A second conductor is typically deposited into the via opening so as to form an electrical connection to the first conductor. A silicon based insulator containing an organic polymer can alternatively be used to form the intra-layer dielectric.
