摘要: Semiconductor devices and methods of making the same include a first lower device and a second lower device on a substrate. A first upper device is over the first lower device and a second upper device is over the second lower device. A first lower contact extends from a height above the first upper device and makes electrical contact with a top surface and a sidewall surface of the first lower device. A second lower contact extends from a height above the second upper device and makes electrical contact with a top surface and a sidewall surface of the second lower device. An insulating barrier is between the first lower contact and the second lower contact.

摘要: An interconnect structure that in one embodiment can include a first metal line level having a first metal line, a second metal line level having a second metal line, and a via line level present between the first and second metal line levels. The via line level includes a via interlevel dielectric surrounding a via stack. The via stack may include an interface metal portion that is in contact with the first metal line, a via intralevel dielectric on the interface metal portion, and a cap metal portion in contact with the second metal line and extending through the via intralevel dielectric into contact with the interface metal portion. In some embodiments, the length of the interface metal portion of the via is greater than a width of the interface metal portion of the via stack.

摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein describe semiconductor devices that include semiconductor structures and methods of forming the semiconductor structures. The methods may include forming a subtractive line from a bottom metal layer and a sacrificial hard mask above the bottom metal layer, depositing a scaffolding material around the subtractive line, forming a via mask over a via portion of the sacrificial hard mask and the scaffolding material, etching the sacrificial hard mask that is not covered by the via mask, to form a sacrificial via, removing the via mask and the scaffolding material, depositing a low-κ layer around the subtractive line and the sacrificial via, removing the sacrificial via to form a via hole within the low-κ layer, and forming a top via by metallizing the via hole.

摘要: A computer-implemented method of assessing roughness in metallic lines of an integrated circuit (IC) is provided. The computer-implemented method includes developing a library of roughness characterizations for metal lines of varying characteristics and dimensions. The computer-implemented method further includes fabricating a testable IC and identifying, in the testable IC, a location of interest (LoI) at which roughness of a metal line within the LoI could impact IC performance. Also, the computer-implemented method includes developing, from the library, a roughness model using the roughness characterizations for those metal lines having characteristics and dimensions corresponding to those of the metal line within the LoI and refining the library and the roughness model based on a comparison of the roughness model and an actual roughness of the metal line within the LoI to obtain a final roughness model.
