    摘要: A method for forming a through silicon via (TSV) in a substrate may include forming a dielectric layer on the substrate; forming an opening through the dielectric layer and into the substrate using a single mask over the dielectric layer; expanding the opening in the dielectric layer, undercutting the single mask, to form an expanded upper portion; removing the single mask; and filling the opening, including the expanded upper portion, with a conductor. A resulting structure may include a substrate; a dielectric layer over the substrate; and a self-aligned through silicon via (TSV) extending through the dielectric layer and the substrate.

    摘要: Systems and methods simultaneously form first openings and second openings in a substrate. The first openings are formed smaller than the second openings. The method also simultaneously forms a first material in the first openings and the second openings. The first material fills the first openings, and the first material lines the second openings. The method forms a second material different than the first material in the second openings. The second material fills the second openings. The method forms a plurality of integrated circuit structures over the first material and the second material within the second openings. The method applies mechanical stress to the substrate to cause the substrate to split along the first openings.

    摘要: A flat-top convex-bottom lower lens is formed by first applying a positive tone photoresist over a silicon oxide layer and an optional metallic barrier layer thereupon in a back-end-of-line (BEOL) metallization structure. The positive tone photoresist is exposed under defocused illumination conditions and/or employing a half-tone mask so that a cross-sectional profile of the positive tone photoresist after exposure contains a continuous and smooth concave profile, which is transferred into the underlying silicon oxide layer to form a concave cavity therein. After removing the photoresist, the cavity is filled with a high refractive index material such as silicon nitride, and planarized to form a flat-top convex-bottom lower lens. Various aluminum metal structures, a color filter, and a convex-top flat-bottom upper lens are thereafter formed so that the upper lens and the lower lens constitute a composite lens system.
