摘要： Methods for fabricating a hybrid interconnect structure that possesses a higher interconnect capacitance in one set of regions than in other regions on the same microelectronic chip. Several methods to fabricate such a structure are provided. Circuit implementations of such hybrid interconnect structures are described that enable increased static noise margin and reduce the leakage in SRAM cells and common power supply voltages for SRAM and logic in such a chip. Methods that enable combining these circuit benefits with higher interconnect performance speed and superior mechanical robustness in such chips are also taught.

摘要： The present invention provides a method of fabricating an interconnect structure in which a patternable low-k material replaces the need for utilizing a separate photoresist and a dielectric material. Specifically, this invention relates to a simplified method of fabricating single-damascene and dual-damascene low-k interconnect structures with at least one patternable low-k dielectric and at least one inorganic antireflective coating. In general terms, a method is provided that includes providing at least one patternable low-k material on a surface of an inorganic antireflective coating that is located atop a substrate. The inorganic ARC is liquid deposited and comprises a polymer that has at least one monomer unit comprising the formula M-R1 wherein M is at least one of Si, Ge, B, Sn, Fe, Ta, Ti, Ni, Hf and La and R1 is a chromophore. At least one interconnect pattern is formed within the at least one patternable low-k material and thereafter the at least one patternable low-k material is cured. The inventive method can be used to form dual-damascene interconnect structures as well as single-damascene interconnect structures.
