    Abstract: A method for reducing stress migration in the copper interconnect line is set forth. In accordance with the method, two anneal steps take place: The first step is at low temperature and of relatively short duration (e.g., about 25-300° C., and about 10 seconds-10 hours). After the first anneal, the wafer is cooled to room temperature. The second step is performed after the cooling step; a higher anneal temperature and longer time duration is needed to enhance performance.

    Abstract: A method to suppress bit-line leakage in a nonvolatile memory cell is achieved. The method comprises providing an array of nonvolatile memory cells comprising source and bulk terminals. The array comprises a plurality of subarrays. The sources of all the nonvolatile cells in each subarray are coupled together to form a common subarray source. Bulks of all the nonvolatile cells in the array are coupled together to form a common array bulk. A first, non-zero voltage is forced between the common subarray source and the common array bulk for a first subarray that is selected for an access operation. A second, non-zero voltage is forced between the common subarray source and the common array bulk for a second subarray that is not selected for an access operation. The second, non-zero voltage inhibits bit line leakage in the second subarray.
