    Abstract: Approaches for reducing through-silicon via (TSV) stress are provided. Specifically, provided is a device comprising a substrate and a TSV formed in the substrate, the TSV having an element patterned therein. The TSV further comprises a set of openings adjacent the element that are subsequently filled with a TSV fill material. The element may be patterned according to any number of shapes (e.g., circle, oval, rectangle, etc.) to optimize the stress distribution for the TSV. The element is patterned and provided within the TSV in order to reduce or compensate for stress forces caused by a change in volume of the conductive fill materials of the openings of the TSV. These approaches apply to both single TSVs and a plurality of TSVs (e.g., arranged as a matrix).

    Abstract: Circuit structures and methods of fabrication are provided with enhanced electrical connection between, for instance, a first metal level and a contact surface of a conductive structure. Enhanced electrical connection is achieved using a plurality of contact vias which are differently-sized, and disposed over and electrically coupled to the contact surface. The differently-sized contact vias include at least one center region contact via disposed over a center region of the contact surface, and at least one peripheral region contact via disposed over a peripheral region of the contact surface, where the at least one center region contact via is larger than the at least one peripheral region contact via.

    Abstract: A method includes providing a pre-optical proximity correction (OPC) layout of at least a portion of at least one reticle. The pre-OPC layout defines a test cell including a first test cell area having a plurality of first target features having a first pitch and a second test cell area having a plurality of second target features having a second pitch. A post-OPC layout of the portion of the reticle is formed on the basis of the pre-OPC layout. The formation of the post-OPC layout includes performing a rule-based OPC process, wherein a plurality of first reticle features for the first test cell area are provided on the basis of the plurality of first target features, and performing a model-based OPC process, wherein a plurality of second reticle features for the second test cell area are provided on the basis of the plurality of second target features.

    Abstract: Approaches for simulating a photolithographic process are provided. Specifically, provided is an optical proximity correction (OPC) model that includes kernel parameters corresponding to inter-layer activity and an etch process for a connecting via of an integrated circuit (IC). A resultant intensity is determined for a corresponding plurality of process variations corresponding to the interlayer activity and the etch process. As such, the OPC model considers both interlay activity and etch process.
