    摘要: Semiconductor integrated circuit line structures for improving a process window in the vicinity of dense-to-isolated pattern transition areas and a technique to implement the line structures in the layout process are described in this disclosure. The disclosed structure includes a semiconductor substrate, and a material layer above the substrate. The material layer has a closely spaced dense line structure, an isolated line structure next to the dense line structure, and a dummy line shoulder structure formed in the vicinity of the dense line and the isolated line structures. One end of the dummy line shoulder structure connects to the isolated line structure and another end extends away from the isolated line structure in an orientation substantially perpendicular to the isolated line structure.

    摘要: A metal-insulator-metal capacitor formed in a multilevel semiconductor device utilizes the copper interconnect levels of the semiconductor device as parts of the capacitor. A lower capacitor plate consists of a copper interconnect level and a first metal layer formed on the copper interconnect level by selective deposition methods. The upper capacitor plate includes the same pattern as the capacitor dielectric, the pattern having an area less than the area of the lower capacitor plate. The upper capacitor plate is formed of a second metal layer. The first and second metal layers may each be formed of cobalt, tungsten, nickel, molybdenum, or a combinations of one of the aforementioned elements with boron and/or phosphorus. Conductive vias provide contact from the upper capacitor plate and lower capacitor plate, to interconnect levels.

    摘要: A passivated metal structure and a method of forming the metal structure is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the patterned metal structure, such as conductive lines, are formed on a substrate. The copper lines are passivated by a polymer liner between the copper lines and a low k dielectric filling the spaces between the conductive lines. The polymer liner is preferably deposited on the sidewalls of the conductive lines by electro-grafting. The polymer liner may also be used in a damascene process according to a second embodiment.

    摘要: A system and method for providing a passivation structure for semiconductor devices is provided. In an embodiment, the passivation structure comprises a first barrier layer and a second barrier layer, wherein the second barrier layer may comprise a material, such as cobalt and/or nickel, that is less pure than the first barrier layer. In another embodiment, a single gradient barrier layer is formed. In this embodiment the single gradient barrier layer exhibits a greater pure conductive material, such as cobalt and/or nickel, nearer the conductive line than near the surface.
