    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an integrated chip structure. The integrated chip structure includes a first plurality of interconnects arranged within a first inter-level dielectric (ILD) structure on a first substrate, and a second plurality of interconnects arranged within a second ILD structure between the first ILD structure and a second substrate. A bonding structure is disposed within a recess extending through the second substrate. A connector structure is vertically between the first plurality of interconnects and the second plurality of interconnects. The second plurality of interconnects include a first interconnect directly contacting the bonding structure. The second plurality of interconnects also include one or more extensions extending from directly below the first interconnect to laterally outside of the first interconnect and directly above the connector structure, as viewed along a cross-sectional view.

    Abstract: The problem of forming top electrode vias that provide consistent results in devices that include resistance switching RAM cells of varying heights is solved using a dielectric composite that fills areas between resistance switching RAM cells and varies in height to align with the tops of both the taller and the shorter resistance switching RAM cells. An etch stop layer may be formed over the dielectric composite providing an equal thickness of etch-resistant dielectric over both taller and shorter resistance switching RAM cells. The dielectric composite causes the etch stop layer to extend laterally away from the resistance switching RAM cells to maintain separation between the via openings and the resistance switching RAM cell sides even when the openings are misaligned.

    Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming an integrated chip structure. The method may be performed by forming a plurality of interconnect layers within a first interconnect structure disposed over an upper surface of a first semiconductor substrate. An edge trimming process is performed to remove parts of the first interconnect structure and the first semiconductor substrate along a perimeter of the first semiconductor substrate. The edge trimming process results in the first semiconductor substrate having a recessed surface coupled to the upper surface by way of an interior sidewall disposed directly over the first semiconductor substrate. A dielectric protection layer is formed onto a sidewall of the first interconnect structure after performing the edge trimming process.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method in which a functional layer is formed over an upper semiconductor surface of a semiconductor substrate, and a capping layer is formed over the functional layer. A first etchant is used to form a recess through the capping layer and through the functional layer. The recess has a first depth and exposes a portion of the semiconductor substrate there through. A protective layer is formed along a lower surface and inner sidewalls of the recess. A second etchant is used to remove the protective layer from the lower surface of the recess and to extend the recess below the upper semiconductor surface to a second depth to form a deep trench. To prevent etching of the functional layer, the protective layer remains in place along the inner sidewalls of the recess while the second etchant is used.
