    摘要: Methods of blocking ionizing radiation to reduce soft errors and resulting IC chips are disclosed. One embodiment includes forming a front end of line (FEOL) for an integrated circuit (IC) chip; and forming at least one back end of line (BEOL) dielectric layer including ionizing radiation blocking material therein. Another embodiment includes forming a front end of line (FEOL) for an integrated circuit (IC) chip; and forming an ionizing radiation blocking layer positioned in a back end of line (BEOL) of the IC chip. The ionizing radiation blocking material or layer absorbs ionizing radiation and reduces soft errors within the IC chip.

    摘要: A through-silicon via (TSV) structure forming a unique coaxial or triaxial interconnect within the silicon substrate. The TSV structure is provided with two or more independent electrical conductors insulated from another and from the substrate. The electrical conductors can be connected to different voltages or ground, making it possible to operate the TSV structure as a coaxial or triaxial device. Multiple layers using various insulator materials can be used as insulator, wherein the layers are selected based on dielectric properties, fill properties, interfacial adhesion, CTE match, and the like. The TSV structure overcomes defects in the outer insulation layer that may lead to leakage. A method of fabricating such a TSV structure is also described.

    摘要: A microelectronic assembly and related method of forming a through hole extending through a first wafer and a second wafer are provided. The first and second wafer have confronting faces and metallic features at the faces which are joined together to assemble the first and second wafers. A hole can be etched downwardly through the first wafer until a gap is partially exposed between the confronting faces of the first and second wafers. The hole can have a first wall extending in a vertical direction, and a second wall sloping inwardly from the first wall to an inner opening through which the interfacial gap is exposed. Material of the first or second wafers exposed within the hole can then be sputtered such that at least some of the sputtered material deposits onto at least one of the exposed confronting faces of the first and second wafers and provides a wall between the confronting faces. The method can include resuming etching the hole so as to extend the first wall fully through the first wafer, the wall between the wafers and into the second wafer, such that the wall of the hole extends continuously from the first wafer into the second wafer. An electrically conductive through silicon via can then be formed extending through the first wafer, the wall between the wafers and into the second wafer.
