摘要:
A method is provided for creating a polish pad. This may involve determining a design layout of a wafer. The design layout may include a distribution of metal line features on the wafer. A polish pad design may be created/determined based on the determined layer. The polish pad may have asperities having a width greater than a width of metal line features of the wafer.

Polymer interlayer dielectric and passivation materials for a microelectronic device are generally described. In one example, an apparatus includes one or more interconnect structures of a microelectronic device and one or more polymeric dielectric layers coupled with the one or more interconnect structures, the polymeric dielectric layers including copolymer backbones having a first monomeric unit and a second monomeric unit wherein the first monomeric unit has a different chemical structure than the second monomeric unit and wherein the copolymer backbones are cross-linked by a first cross-linker or a second cross-linker, or combinations thereof.
摘要:
Numerous embodiments of an apparatus and method of a dielectric material having a low dielectric constant and good mechanical strength are described. In one embodiment a dielectric material having multiple porous regions is disposed over a substrate. A caged structure is bridged within the plurality of pores. In one particular embodiment, the caged structure may be carborane or a carborane derivative.

Techniques for reducing resistivity in metal interconnects by compressive straining are generally described. In one example, an apparatus includes a dielectric substrate, a thin film of metal coupled with the dielectric substrate, and an interconnect metal coupled to the thin film of metal, the thin film of metal having a lattice parameter that is smaller than the lattice parameter of the interconnect metal to compressively strain the interconnect metal.

摘要:
An apparatus for polishing a wafer comprising a rotatable polishing pad having a center of rotation and a rinse delivery conduit positioned adjacent to the polishing pad and substantially in radial alignment with the center. The rinse delivery conduit includes a plurality of nozzles to dispense a rinsing liquid. In one embodiment, the plurality of nozzles are configured and positioned to generate a higher flow rate of the rinsing liquid at the end of the rinse delivery conduit proximate to the center than at the end of the rinse delivery conduit distal to the center. In another embodiment, the rinse delivery conduit has a proximal end which is substantially adjacent the center and the distal end which is approximately adjacent an outer periphery of the pad.
