Abstract:
One or more embodiments relate to a method for making a semiconductor structure, comprising: providing a substrate; forming a dielectric layer over the substrate; forming a first opening and a second opening at least partially simultaneously through the dielectric layer over the substrate; and forming a third opening through the bottom surface of the first opening and into at least a portion of the substrate.
Abstract:
A structure and method of forming through substrate vias in forming semiconductor components are described. In one embodiment, the invention describes a method of forming the through substrate via by filling an opening with a first fill material and depositing a first insulating layer over the first fill material, the first insulating layer not being deposited on sidewalls of the fill material in the opening, wherein sidewalls of the first insulating layer form a gap over the opening. The method further includes forming a void by sealing the opening using a second insulating layer.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate, an anorganic isolation layer on the semiconductor substrate and a metallization layer on the anorganic isolation layer. The metallization layer comprises a fuse structure. At least in an area of the fuse structure the metallization layer and the anorganic isolation layer have a common interface.
