The invention provides a sealing layer that seals metal bonding structures between three dimensional bonded integrated circuits from a surrounding environment. A material may be applied to fill a volume between the bonded integrated circuits or seal the perimeter of the volume between the bonded integrated circuits. The material may be the same material as that used for underfilling the volume between the bottom integrated circuit and a substrate.

Methods of forming a microelectronic structure are described. Embodiments of those methods include bonding at least one bond pad of a device side of a first substrate to at least one bond pad of a device side of a second substrate, forming at least one via to connect to at least one of an active feature and an interconnect structure disposed within the first substrate, and forming a reactive material on a surface of at least one of the active features.

A method and apparatus are provided an interconnect cladding layer. In one embodiment, a first sacrificial layer is deposited over a substrate and patterned. In the vias created during the patterning operation, a conductive material is placed to create conductive interconnects. After planarizing the conductive material, the sacrificial layer is removed leaving the interconnect exposed. A cladding layer is then deposited over the conductive material.

An improved method of forming a semiconductor device is described. Initially, a structure is formed that includes first and second hard masking layers that cover a dielectric layer. A first part of the second hard masking layer and a first part of the first hard masking layer are etched to form an etched region within the hard mask that exposes a first portion of the dielectric layer. That etched region is filled with a sacrificial material. After etching through a second part of the second hard masking layer, the remainder of the sacrificial material is removed prior to subsequent processing.

A microelectronic structure includes at least one source/drain terminal of a first conductivity type that is partially isolated from a region of semiconductor material of a second conductivity type. In a further aspect of the invention, a process for forming a microelectronic structure, such as a MOSFET, having at least one source/drain terminal of a first conductivity type that is partially isolated from a region of semiconductor material of a second conductivity type includes forming a recess having a surface, forming a dielectric material over a portion of the surface of the recess, and back-filling the recess to form a source/drain terminal.

A semiconductor device and an improved method for making it are described. The semiconductor device comprises a dual damascene interconnect that includes a conductive line. The device further includes a support structure that is spaced from the conductive line, and an insulating layer that is formed on the support structure and the conductive line. In the method for forming that device, a support structure is formed on a substrate, and an insulating layer is formed adjacent to it. Portions of the insulating layer are removed to form a via and a trench, which are filled with a conductive material to generate a dual damascene interconnect that includes a conductive line, wherein the conductive line is spaced from the support structure.
