    Abstract: A semiconductor fabrication is described, wherein a MOS device and a MEMS device is fabricated simultaneously in the BEOL process. A silicon layer is deposited and etched to form a silicon film for a MOS device and a lower silicon sacrificial film for a MEMS device. A conductive layer is deposited atop the silicon layer and etched to form a metal gate and a first upper electrode. A dielectric layer is deposited atop the conductive layer and vias are formed in the dielectric layer. Another conductive layer is deposited atop the dielectric layer and etched to form a second upper electrode and three metal electrodes for the MOS device. Another silicon layer is deposited atop the other conductive layer and etched to form an upper silicon sacrificial film for the MEMS device. The upper and lower silicon sacrificial films are then removed via venting holes.

    Abstract: Disclosed are structures with an optical waveguide having a first segment at a first level and a second segment extending between the first level and a higher second level and further extending along the second level. Specifically, the waveguide comprises a first segment between first and second dielectric layers. The second dielectric layer has a trench, which extends through to the first dielectric layer and which has one side positioned laterally adjacent to an end of the first segment. The waveguide also comprises a second segment extending from the bottom of the trench on the side adjacent to the first segment up to and along the top surface of the second dielectric layer on the opposite side of the trench. A third dielectric layer covers the second segment in the trench and on the top surface of the second dielectric layer. Also disclosed are methods of forming such optoelectronic structures.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor chip having a dual damascene insulated wire and insulated through-substrate via (TSV) structure and methods of forming the chip. The methods incorporate a dual damascene technique wherein a trench and via opening are formed in dielectric layers above a substrate such that the trench is above a first via and the via opening is positioned adjacent to the first via and extends vertically from the trench and into the substrate. Dielectric spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the trench and via opening. A metal layer is deposited to form an insulated wire in the trench and an insulated TSV in the via opening. Thus, the insulated wire electrically connects the insulated TSV to the first via and, thereby to an on-chip device or lower metal level wire below. Subsequently, the substrate is thinned to expose the insulated TSV at the bottom surface of the substrate.
