    Abstract: Dual damascene methods and structures are provided for IC interconnects which use a dual-damascene process incorporating a low-k dielectric material, high conductivity metal, and an improved hard mask scheme. A pair of hard masks are employed: a silicon dioxide layer and a silicon nitride layer, wherein the silicon dioxide layer acts to protect the silicon nitride layer during dual damascene etch processing, but is subsequently sacrificed during CMP, allowing the silicon nitride layer to act as a the CMP hard mask. In this way, delamination of the low-k material is prevented, and any copper-contaminated silicon dioxide material is removed.

    Abstract: A method for utilizing electroless copper deposition to form interconnects on a semiconductor. Once a via or a trench is formed in a dielectric layer, a titanium nitride (TiN) or tantalum (Ta) barrier layer is deposited. Then, a catalytic copper seed layer is conformally blanket deposited in vacuum over the barrier layer. Next, without breaking the vacuum, an aluminum protective layer is deposited onto the catalytic layer to encapsulate and protect the catalytic layer from oxidizing. An electroless deposition technique is then used to auto-catalytically deposit copper on the catalytic layer. The electroless deposition solution dissolves the overlying protective layer to expose the surface of the underlying catalytic layer. The electroless copper deposition occurs on this catalytic surface, and continues until the via/trench is filled. Subsequently, the copper and barrier material are polished by an application of chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) to remove excess copper and barrier material from the surface, so that the only copper and barrier material remaining are in the via/trench openings. Then an overlying silicon nitride (SiN) layer is formed above the exposed copper in order to form a dielectric barrier layer. The copper interconnect is fully encapsulated from the adjacent material by the TiN (or Ta) barrier layer and the overlying SiN layer.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for visualization of a call over network (CON) are provided. In some embodiments, the visualization of a call over network may be effectuated by three functionalities: a readiness dialog box that enables the facilitation of the call, the inclusion of visualization and participant features within the call, and a visualized summary after the call. The readiness dialog box is presented to the callers prior to the onset of the call. It presents the other participant's and their status. It also enables the caller to send messages (both preconfigured and customized) to the other participants. Once sufficient participants have joined, the call may start. Once the call starts, it may be visualized by displaying on a single or multi channels, which caller is speaking, and any additional indications they may be providing. The caller may likewise be provided a set of participant features that allow the user to interact with the call. After the call concludes, a visualized summary of the call can then be generated. The summary includes any of the recording, transcriptions, scenario information, speaker information and the duration each speaker was talking, etc.
