    摘要: A method of forming at least one aluminum/copper clad interconnect comprising the following steps. A substrate is provided having an overlying patterned dielectric layer. The patterned dielectric layer having at least one lower opening. The at least one lower opening is lined with a first barrier layer. At least one planarized copper portion is formed within the at least one first barrier layer lined lower opening. A patterned layer is formed over the at least one planarized copper portion and the patterned dielectric layer. The patterned layer has at least one upper opening exposing at least a portion of the at least one planarized copper portion. The at least one upper opening is lined with a second barrier layer. At least one aluminum portion is formed within the at least one second barrier layer lined opening to form the at least one aluminum/copper clad interconnect.

    摘要: Keep out zones (KOZ) are formed for a through silicon via (TSV). A device can be placed outside a first KOZ of a TSV determined by a first performance threshold so that a stress impact caused by the TSV to the device is less than a first performance threshold while the first KOZ contains only those points at which a stress impact caused by the TSV is larger than or equal to the first performance threshold. A second KOZ for the TSV can be similarly formed by a second performance threshold. A plurality of TSVs can be placed in a direction that the KOZ of the TSV has smallest radius to a center of the TSV, which may be in a crystal orientation [010] or [100]. A plurality of TSV stress plug can be formed at the boundary of the overall KOZ of the plurality of TSVs.

    摘要: A semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of low-k dielectric layers over the semiconductor substrate; a first passivation layer over the plurality of low-k dielectric layers; and a second passivation layer over the first passivation layer. A first seal ring is adjacent to an edge of the semiconductor chip, wherein the first seal ring has an upper surface substantially level to a bottom surface of the first passivation layer. A second seal ring is adjacent to the first seal ring and on an inner side of the semiconductor chip than the first seal ring. The second seal ring includes a pad ring in the first passivation layer and the second passivation layer. A trench ring includes at least a portion directly over the first seal ring. The trench ring extends from a top surface of the second passivation layer down to at least an interface between the first passivation layer and the second passivation layer.
