    摘要: Improved mechanical and adhesive strength and resistance to breakage of copper integrated circuit interconnections is obtained by forming a copper alloy in a copper via/wiring connection in an integrated circuit while minimizing adverse electrical effects of the alloy by confining the alloy to an interfacial region of said via/wiring connection and not elsewhere by a barrier which reduces or substantially eliminates the thickness of alloy in the conduction path. The alloy location and composition are further stabilized by reaction of all available alloying material with copper, copper alloys or other metals and their alloys.

    摘要: Bottom sides of two semiconductor substrates are brought together with at least one bonding material layer therebetween and bonded to form a bonded substrate. A cavity with two openings and a contiguous path therebetween is provided within the at least one bonding layer. At least one through substrate via and other metal interconnect structures are formed within the bonded substrate. The cavity is employed as a cooling channel through which a cooling fluid flows to cool the bonded semiconductor substrate during the operation of the semiconductor devices in the bonded substrate. Alternatively, a conductive cooling fin with two end portions and a contiguous path therebetween is formed within the at least one bonding layer. The two end portions of the conductive cooling fin are connected to heat sinks to cool the bonded semiconductor substrate during the operation of the semiconductor devices in the bonded substrate.

    摘要: An array of through substrate vias (TSVs) is formed through a semiconductor substrate and a contact-via-level dielectric layer thereupon. A metal-wire-level dielectric layer and a line-level metal wiring structure embedded therein are formed directly on the contact-via-level dielectric layer. The line-level metal wiring structure includes cheesing holes that are filled with isolated portions of the metal-wire-level dielectric layer. In one embodiment, the entirety of the cheesing holes is located outside the area of the array of the TSVs to maximize the contact area between the TSVs and the line-level metal wiring structure. In another embodiment, a set of cheesing holes overlying an entirety of seams in the array of TSVs is formed to prevent trapping of any plating solution in the seams of the TSVs during plating to prevent corrosion of the TSVs at the seams.
