    摘要: Disclosed is an improved integrated circuit wiring structure configured to prevent migration of wiring metal ions (e.g., copper (Cu+) ions in the case of a copper interconnect scheme) onto the surface of an interlayer dielectric material at an interface between the interlayer dielectric material and an insulating cap layer. Specifically, the top surfaces of wires and the top surface of a dielectric layer within which the wires sit are not co-planar. Thus, the interfaces between the wires and an insulating cap layer and between the dielectric layer and the same insulating cap layer are also not co-planar. Such a configuration physically prevents migration of wiring metal ions from the top surface of the wires onto the top surface of the dielectric layer at the interface between the dielectric layer and cap layer and, thereby prevents time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) and eventual device failure. Also disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of a forming such an integrated circuit wiring structure.

    摘要: The instant invention is a method of polishing a substrate including contacting a substrate having at least one metal layer including copper with a chemical-mechanical polishing composition. The CMP composition includes an abrasive, a surfactant, an oxidizer, an organic acid including polyacrylic acid or polymethacrylic acid, a corrosion inhibitor, and a liquid carrier. A portion of the copper in the metal layer is abraded to polish the substrate. A second CMP composition contacts the abraded substrate, the second acrylate free composition including an abrasive, a surfactant, an oxidizer, and a corrosion inhibitor, and a liquid carrier. Any dendrites that may have formed on the substrate are removed through abrasion.

    摘要: A substrate having at least one fuse in a fuse layer. An upper etch-stop layer over the fuse, a lower etch-stop layer having a different etch-chemistry over the fuse and, optionally, a diffusion barrier layer immediately over the fuse. The lower etch-stop later and the optional diffusion barrier providing a uniform passivation thickness for use in conjunction with laser fuse deletion processes. An upper etch-resistant layer over the lower etch-resistant layer and having an etch chemistry selective to that of the lower etch-resistant layer. Methods for providing a uniform passivation thickness over all the fuses, and for deleting such fuses.
