摘要: Bonding strength and yield can be enhanced by providing a mating pair of a convex bonding surface and a concave bonding surface. The convex bonding surface can be provided by employing a conductive barrier layer having a higher electrochemical potential than copper. The concave bonding surface can be provided by employing a conductive barrier layer having a lower electrochemical potential than copper. Alternatively additionally, a copper material portion in a bonding pad may include at least 10% volume fraction of (200) copper grains to provide high volume expansion toward a mating copper material portion. The mating copper material portion may be formed with at least 95% volume fraction of (111) copper grains to provide high surface diffusivity, or may be formed with at least 10% volume fraction of (200) copper grains to provide high volume expansion.

摘要: A vertical layer stack including a bit-line-level dielectric layer and an etch stop dielectric layer can be formed over an array region. Bit-line trenches are formed through the vertical layer stack. Bit-line-trench fill structures are formed in the bit-line trenches. Each of the bit-line-trench fill structures includes a stack of a bit line and a capping dielectric strip. At least one via-level dielectric layer can be formed over the vertical layer stack. A bit-line-contact via cavity can be formed through the at least one via-level dielectric layer and one of the capping dielectric strips. A bit-line-contact via structure formed in the bit-line-contact via cavity includes a stepped bottom surface including a top surface of one of the bit lines, a sidewall segment of the etch stop dielectric layer, and a segment of a top surface of the etch stop dielectric layer.
