    摘要: Apparatus and methods are provided for enabling wafer-scale encapsulation of microelectromechanical (MEM) devices (e.g., resonators, filters) to protect the MEMs from the ambient and to provide either a controlled ambient or a reduced pressure. In particular, methods for wafer-scale encapsulation of MEM devices are provided, which enable encapsulation of MEM devices under desired ambient conditions that are not determined by the deposition conditions of a sealing process in which MEM release via holes are sealed or pinched-off, and which prevent sealing material from being inadvertently deposited on the MEM device during the sealing process.

    摘要: The present invention features low-temperature, self-encapsulated, copper interconnect lines on silicon substrates of Ultra-Large Scale Integration (ULSI) circuits. The interconnect lines are a product of a process that includes the following steps: (a) alloying the copper with titanium in an approximate 10 atomic weight percentage of titanium; (b) depositing a layer of the copper/titanium alloy upon a silicon dioxide/silicon substrate of a ULSI circuit; (c) patterning the copper/titanium layer to form interconnect lines on the substrate; (d) forming a titanium rich surface film on the copper interconnect lines by rapid heating of the copper/titanium interconnect lines at an approximate ramping rate of between 60.degree. and 80.degree. C./minute; and (e) nitriding the titanium rich surface of the interconnect lines in an ammonia atmosphere at low temperatures in an approximate range of between 450.degree. to 650.degree. C. for about 15 to 40 minutes, to form a titanium nitride encapsulating layer about said copper interconnect lines.
