    Abstract: A through-silicon via (TSV) capacitive test structure and method of determining TSV depth based on capacitance is disclosed. The TSV capacitive test structure is formed from a plurality of TSV bars that are evenly spaced. A first group of bars are electrically connected to form a first capacitor node, and a second group of bars is electrically connected to form a second capacitor node. The capacitance is measured, and a TSV depth is computed, prior to backside thinning. The computed TSV depth may then be fed to downstream grinding and/or polishing tools to control the backside thinning process such that the semiconductor wafer is thinned such that the backside is flush with the TSV.

    Abstract: An electronic interconnect structure having a hybridized metal structure near regions of high operating temperature on an integrated circuit, and methods of making the same. The hybridized metal structure features at least two different metals in a single metallization level. The first metal is in a region of high operating temperature and the second region is in a region of normal operating temperatures. In a preferred embodiment the first metal includes aluminum and is in a first level metallization over an active area of the device while the second metal includes copper. In some embodiments, the first and second metals are not in direct physical contact. In other embodiments the first and second metals physically contact each other. In a preferred embodiment, a top surface of the first metal is not co-planar with a top surface of the second metal, despite being in the same metallization level.
