摘要:
An interconnection system for high performance electronic hybrids employs micro-machined features on a substrate to connect directly to miniature electronic components, such as integrated circuits. The micro-machined features may include posts for connecting to bonding pads of standard components and may also include rails for alignment of components and connections to specially made components.
摘要:
An integrated circuit device including a link point for electrically connecting a plurality of metal layers, comprising a first metal layer, a link insulating layer, a second metal layer and diffusion barrier layers between the link insulator layer and each of the first metal layer and the second metal layer. The metal layers are connected by exposing the link point to a low-power laser for a relatively long pulse width.

A process is described which combines polycrystalline isolation of collectors and shallow oxide isolation of bases. This approach is capable of providing deep dielectric isolation, surface planarity and the high density of walled emitter geometries, a combination heretofore unobtainable by any other means.This isolation scheme has been used to fabricate ECL gate chains. The transistors were located in 2.5 micron thick n-epi islands surrounded by 5.times.10.sup.5 ohm-cm polysilicon selectively oxidized with silicon nitride masking to a thickness of one micron. The oxide "bump" at the nitride mask was typically 3000 A and the epi-poly step height was as small as 2600 A. The circuits have polysilicon resistors and were fabricated using both thermal diffusion and ion implantation. The power-delay product of these circuits was approximately one-half that of junction isolated circuits.

An improved method for reading metal dual insulator semiconductor capacitor memories is disclosed. The memory contains a plurality of capacitor cells, each cell comprising a semiconductor substrate layer and a high conductivity layer sandwiching two insulator layers. The substrate is doped to provide avalanche breakdown in a surface depletion layer at a voltage comparable to the write voltage in the accumulation direction. According to the invention, a small variable voltage is applied across a selected cell or cells. The range of voltage includes a "flat-band" portion of the hysteresis loop describing the voltage-capacitance relationship for the capacitor memory. The unselected cells are maintained in a depletion state in which their capacitance is a minimum. A change or the absence of a change in the current through the capacitor indicates the state of the capacitor cell.
