摘要:
A method of forming interconnects includes etching a first set of openings in a hard mask using a first photo resist layer with a first pattern of openings as a first etch mask, and etching a second set of openings in the hard mask using a second photo resist layer with a second pattern of openings as a second etch mask. The method includes shrinking the openings in at least one of the first pattern and the second pattern prior to etching the openings in the hard mask.

A fuse link of undoped material is connected between first and second doped material contact regions and a layer of conductive material is located above the first and second contact regions and the fuse link. According to other embodiments, a fuse link is connected between first and second contact regions. A layer of conductive material is above the first and second contact regions and the fuse link, and a heat sink is in proximity to the fuse link. In a method, a programming pulse is applied to a fuse link of undoped material connected between first and second doped material contact regions to generate electromigration drift of a conductive material above the first and second contact regions and the fuse link.

The invention relates to a layer arrangement and to a process for producing a layer arrangement. The layer arrangement has a layer which is arranged on a substrate and includes a first subregion comprising decomposable material and a second subregion which is arranged next to the first subregion and has a useful structure comprising a non-decomposable material. Furthermore, the layer arrangement has a covering layer on the layer comprising decomposable material and the useful structure, the layer arrangement being designed in such a manner that the decomposable material can be removed from the layer arrangement.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for producing metal-containing thin films with a low electrical resistance, in which first of all a metal-containing layer (5′) with a first grain size is formed up to a recrystallization thickness (d1), and then, at this recrystallization thickness (d1), a recrystallization is carried out in order to produce a metal-containing layer (5″) with a larger grain size. Finally, the metal-containing layer (5″) with the larger grain size is thinned to a desired target thickness (d2), resulting in a very thin metal-containing layer with an electrical resistance which is reduced further.

A process for forming fusible links in an integrated circuit includes forming the fusible link in the last metallization layer. The process can be employed in the fabrication of integrated circuits employing copper metallization and low k dielectric materials. The fusible link is formed in the last metallization layer and may be formed simultaneously with the bonding pad areas.
