摘要:
A method of fabricating a waveguide device is disclosed. The method includes providing a substrate having an elector-interconnection region and a waveguide region and forming a patterned dielectric layer and a patterned redistribution layer (RDL) over the substrate in the electro-interconnection region. The method also includes bonding the patterned RDL to a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) through a bonding stack. A reflecting-mirror trench is formed in the substrate in the waveguide region, and a reflecting layer is formed over a reflecting-mirror region inside the waveguide region. The method further includes forming and patterning a bottom cladding layer in a wave-tunnel region inside the waveguide region and forming and patterning a core layer and a top cladding layer in the waveguide region.

The present disclosure is directed to a method of manufacturing an interconnect structure in which a low-k dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate followed by formation of a copper or copper alloy layer over the low-k dielectric layer. The copper or copper alloy layer is patterned and etched to form a copper body having recesses, which are then filled with a low-k dielectric material. The method allows for formation of a damascene structures without encountering the various problems presented by non-planar features and by porus low-K dielectric damage.

A bilayer porous low dielectric constant (low-k) interconnect structure and methods of fabricating the same are presented. A preferred embodiment having an effective dielectric constant of about 2.2 comprises a bottom deposited dielectric layer and a top deposited dielectric layer in direct contact with the former. The bottom layer and the top layer have same atomic compositions, but a higher dielectric constant value k. The bottom dielectric layer serves as an etch stop layer for the top dielectric layer, and the top dielectric layer can act as CMP stop layer. One embodiment of making the structure includes forming a bottom dielectric layer having a first porogen content and a top dielectric layer having a higher porogen content. A curing process leaves lower pore density in the bottom dielectric layer than that left in the top dielectric layer, which leads to higher dielectric value k in the bottom dielectric layer.

A method of forming a low-k dielectric layer and forming a structure in the low-k dielectric layer includes depositing a low-k dielectric layer over a substrate, performing a first treatment to the low-k dielectric layer, performing post-formation processes, and performing a second treatment to the low-k dielectric layer. The k value of the low-k dielectric layer is lowered by the first treatment. The post-formation processes performed to the low-k dielectric layer include at least one low-k dielectric material damaging process. The second treatment restores the low-k dielectric layer. Preferably, each of the first and second treatments includes a curing process selected from e-beam curing, ultraviolet curing, plasma curing, SCCO2 cleaning, and combinations thereof.
