    摘要: A method and a pattern for reducing interconnect failures are described. The method and pattern are used for a multilevel structure of metal/dielectric/metal. At least one assistant pattern is attached to one metal layer of the multilevel structure. A thermal stress gradient resulting from the assistant pattern can collect vacancies of the metal layer, so as to prevent stress-induced voids from generating at the bottom of a via plug which connects the two metal layers.

    摘要: A method for forming an interconnection structure in an integrated circuit includes the following steps. A dielectric layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. An opening is formed on the dielectric layer. A barrier layer is formed over inner walls of the opening and the dielectric layer. A conductive layer is deposited on the barrier layer and filling the opening. Then, a step of planarization is performed to form the interconnection structure, such that a peripheral edge of a top surface of the interconnection structure is no lower than a top surface of the barrier layer.

    摘要: A method of fabrication used for semiconductor integrated circuit devices to define a thin copper fuse at a top via opening, in a partial etch, dual damascene integration scheme, efficiently reducing top metal thickness in a fusible link, for the purpose of laser ablation. Some advantages of the method are: (a) avoids copper fuse contact to low dielectric material, which is subject to the thermal shock of laser ablation, (b) increases insulating material thickness over the fuse using better thickness control, and most importantly, (c) reduces the copper fuse thickness, for easy laser ablation of the copper fuse, and finally, (d) uses USG, undoped silicate glass to avoid direct contact with low dielectric constant materials.

    摘要: Dishing is known to be a problem after CMP of dielectric layers in which the distribution of embedded metal is non-uniform. This problem has been solved by populating those areas where the density of embedded metal is low with unconnected regions that, instead of being uniformly filled with metal, are made up of metallic patterns whose combined area within a given region is about half the total area of the region itself. Two examples of such patterns are a line stripe pattern (similar to a parquet flooring tile) and a checker board pattern. Data is presented comparing the parasitic capacitances resulting from the use of patterns of this type relative to conventional solid patterns. The effect of aligning the regions so as to reduce their degree of overlap with wiring channels is also discussed.
