A semiconductor structure includes: at least one silicon surface wherein the surface can be a substrate, wafer or other device. The structure further includes at least one electronic circuit formed on each side of the at least one surface; and at least one conductive high aspect ratio through silicon via running through the at least one surface. Each through silicon via is fabricated from at least one etch step and includes: at least one thermal oxide dielectric for coating at least some of a sidewall of the through silicon via for a later etch stop in fabrication of the through silicon via.

A method of optimally filling a through via within a through wafer via structure with a conductive metal such as, for example, W is provided. The inventive method includes providing a structure including a substrate having at least one aperture at least partially formed through the substrate. The at least one aperture of the structure has an aspect ratio of at least 20:1 or greater. Next, a refractory metal-containing liner such as, for example, Ti/TiN, is formed on bare sidewalls of the substrate within the at least one aperture. A conductive metal seed layer is then formed on the refractory metal-containing liner. In the invention, the conductive metal seed layer formed is enriched with silicon and has a grain size of about 5 nm or less. Next, a conductive metal nucleation layer is formed on the conductive metal seed layer. The conductive metal nucleation layer is also enriched with silicon and has a grain size of about 20 nm or greater. Next, a conductive metal is formed on the conductive metal nucleation layer. After performing the above processing steps, a backside planarization process is performed to convert the at least one aperture into at least one through via that is now optimally filled with a conductive metal.

Improved methods of separating integrated circuit chips fabricated on a single wafer are provided. In an embodiment, a method of separating integrated circuit chips fabricated on a wafer comprises: attaching a support to a back surface of the wafer; dicing the wafer to form individual integrated circuit chips attached to the support; attaching a carrier comprising a releasable adhesive material to a front surface of the wafer opposite from the back surface; separating the support from the back surface of the wafer; subjecting the carrier to an effective amount of heat, radiation, or both to reduce the adhesiveness of the adhesive material to allow for removal of at least one of the integrated circuit chips from the carrier; and picking up and moving at least one of the integrated circuit chips using a tool configured to handle the integrated circuit chips.
