摘要： A structure and method for making copper interconnections in an integrated circuit are described. The structure is a damascene copper connector whose upper surface is coplanar with the upper surface of the insulating layer in which it is embedded. Out-diffusion of copper from the connector is prevented by two barrier layers. One is located at the interface between the connector and the insulating layer ,while the second barrier is an insulating layer which covers the upper surface of the connector. The damascene process involves filling a trench in the surface of the insulator with copper and then removing the excess by chem.-mech. polishing. Since photoresist is never in direct contact with the copper the problem of copper oxidation during resist ashing has been effectively eliminated.

摘要： A CMOS RF device and a method to fabricate said device with low gate contact resistance are described. Conventional MOS transistor is first formed with isolation regions, poly-silicon gate structure, sidewall spacers around poly gate, and implanted source/drain with lightly and heavily doped regions. A silicon dioxide layer such as TEOS is deposited, planarized with chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to expose the gate and treated with dilute HF etchant to recess the silicon dioxide layer below the surface of the gate. Silicon nitride is then deposited and planarized with CMP and then etched except around the gates, using a oversize poly-silicon gate mask. Inter-level dielectric mask is then deposited, contact holes etched, and contact metal is deposited to form the transistor. During contact hole etch over poly-silicon gate, silicon nitride around the poly gate acts as an etch stop. Resulting structure with direct gate contact achieves significantly reduced gate resistance and thereby improved noise performance at high frequency operation, increased unit power gain frequency (fmax), and reduced gate delay.

摘要： A new method is provided for creating an inductor on the surface of a silicon substrate. The invention provides overlying layers of oxide fins beneath a metal inductor. The oxide fins provide the stability support for the overlying metal inductor while also allowing horizontal air columns to simultaneously exist underneath the inductor. Overlying layers of air cavities that are spatially inserted between the created overlying layers of oxide fins can be created under the invention by repetitive application of the mask used. The presence of the air wells on the surface of the substrate significantly reduces parasitic capacitances and series resistance of the inductor associated with the substrate.

摘要： A method is described to fabricate RF inductor devices on a silicon substrate. Low-k or other dielectric material is deposited and patterned to form inductor lower plate trenches. Trenches are lined with barrier film such as TaN, filled with copper, and excess metal planarized using chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). Second layer of a dielectric material is deposited and patterned to form via-hole/trenches. Via-hole/trench patterns are filled with barrier material, and the dielectric film in between the via-hole/trenches is etched to form a second set of trenches. These trenches are filled with copper and planarized. A third layer of a dielectric film is deposited and patterned to form via-hole/trenches. Via-hole/trenches are then filled with barrier material, and the dielectric film between via-hole/trench patterns etched to form a third set of trenches. These trenches are filled with copper metal and excess metal removed by CMP to form said RF inductor.
