    Abstract: A method for changing reflectance or resistance of a region in an optoelectronic memory device. Changing the reflectance of the region includes sending an electric current through the region to cause a reflectance change in the region. Changing the resistance of the region includes: projecting a laser beam at a first beam intensity on the region, resulting in the region changing from a first to a second different resistance value; electrically reading the second resistance value during which an optical signal carried by the laser beam has a first digital value; after electrically reading the second resistance value, the laser beam is projected at a second beam intensity on the region resulting in the region changing from the second to the first resistance value; and electrically reading the first resistance value of the region while the laser beam is being projected on the region at the second beam intensity.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a 3D via capacitor and a method for forming the same. The capacitor includes an insulating layer on a substrate. The insulating layer has a via having sidewalls and a bottom. A first electrode overlies the sidewalls and at least a portion of the bottom of the via. A first high-k dielectric material layer overlies the first electrode. A first conductive plate is over the first high-k dielectric material layer. A second high-k dielectric material layer overlies the first conductive plate and leaves a remaining portion of the via unfilled. A second electrode is formed in the remaining portion of the via. The first conductive plate is substantially parallel to the first electrode and is not in contact with the first and second electrodes. An array of such 3D via capacitors is also provided.

    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3-D) integrated circuit wiring including a plurality of stacked dielectric levels formed on a substrate includes a plurality of non-contiguous dummy walls patterned in a corresponding dielectric level around a circuit wire keep out zone (KOZ). The non-contiguous dummy walls are formed in the circuit wire KOZ and have an outer side and an opposing inner side that extend along a first direction to define a length. A circuit wire segment is located at a first metal level and a second circuit wire segment is located at a second metal level different from the first metal level. The first and second metal levels are located adjacent the inner side of at least one non-contiguous dummy wall.

    Abstract: A structure, such as a wafer, chip, IC, design structure, etc., includes a through silicon via (TSV) and an electromigration (EM) monitor. The TSV extends completely through a semiconductor chip and the EM monitor includes a plurality of EM wires proximately arranged about the TSV perimeter. An EM testing method includes forcing electrical current through EM monitor wiring arranged in close proximity to the perimeter of the TSV, measuring an electrical resistance drop across the EM monitor wiring, determining if an electrical short exists between the EM monitor wiring and the TSV from the measured electrical resistance, and/or determining if an early electrical open or resistance increase exists within the EM monitoring wiring due to TSV induced proximity effect.
