    摘要: There is disclosed in an example an integrated circuit, including: a first layer having a dielectric, a first conductive interconnect and a second conductive interconnect; a second layer having a third conductive interconnect; a conductive via between the first layer and the second layer to electrically couple the second conductive interconnect to the third conductive interconnect; a dielectric plug disposed vertically between the first layer and second layer and disposed to prevent the via from electrically shorting to the first conductive interconnect; and a dielectric cap covering the dielectric plug.

    摘要: Techniques and structure are disclosed for providing a MIM capacitor having a generally corrugated profile. The corrugated topography is provisioned using sacrificial, self-organizing materials that effectively create a pattern in response to treatment (heat or other suitable stimulus), which is transferred to a dielectric material in which the MIM capacitor is formed. The self-organizing material may be, for example, a layer of directed self-assembly material that segregates into two alternating phases in response to heat or other stimulus, wherein one of the phases then can be selectively etched with respect to the other phase to provide the desired pattern. In another example case, the self-organizing material is a layer of material that coalesces into isolated islands when heated. As will be appreciated in light of this disclosure, the disclosed techniques can be used, for example, to increase capacitance per unit area, which can be scaled by etching deeper capacitor trenches/holes.

    摘要: Magneto-electric spin orbital (MESO) structures having functional oxide vias, and method of fabricating magneto-electric spin orbital (MESO) structures having functional oxide vias, are described. In an example, a magneto-electric spin orbital (MESO) device includes a source region and a drain region in or above a substrate. A first via contact is on the source region. A second via contact is on the drain region, the second via contact laterally adjacent to the first via contact. A plurality of alternating ferromagnetic material lines and non-ferromagnetic conductive lines is above the first and second via contacts. A first of the ferromagnetic material lines is on the first via contact, and a second of the ferromagnetic material lines is on the second via contact. A spin orbit coupling (SOC) via is on the first of the ferromagnetic material lines. A functional oxide via is on the second of the ferromagnetic material lines.

    摘要: Approaches based on photobucket floor colors with selective grafting for semiconductor structure fabrication, and the resulting structures, are described. For example, a grating structure is formed above an ILD layer formed above a substrate, the grating structure including a plurality of dielectric spacers separated by alternating first trenches and second trenches, grafting a resist-inhibitor layer in the first trenches but not in the second trenches, forming photoresist in the first trenches and in the second trenches, exposing and removing the photoresist in select ones of the second trenches to a lithographic exposure to define a set of via locations, etching the set of via locations into the ILD layer, and forming a plurality of metal lines in the ILD layer, where select ones of the plurality of metal lines includes an underlying conductive via corresponding to the set of via locations.

    摘要: Surface-aligned lithographic patterning approaches for back end of line (BEOL) interconnect fabrication, and the resulting structures, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a substrate. A plurality of alternating first and second conductive lines is along a first direction of a back end of line (BEOL) metallization layer in a first inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer above the substrate. A conductive via is on and electrically coupled to one of the conductive lines of the plurality of alternating first and second conductive lines, the conductive via centered over the one of the conductive lines. A second ILD layer is above plurality of alternating first and second conductive lines and laterally adjacent to the conductive via. The second ILD layer has an uppermost surface substantially co-planar with the flat top surface of the conductive via.
