    摘要: Embodiments of the invention include a copper interconnect structure having increased electromigration lifetime. Such structures can include a semiconductor substrate having a copper layer formed thereon. A dielectric barrier stack is formed on the copper layer. The dielectric barrier stack includes a first portion formed adjacent to the copper layer and a second portion formed on the first portion, the first portion having improved adhesion to copper relative to the second portion and both portions are formed having resistance to copper diffusion. The invention also includes several embodiments for constructing such structures. Adhesion of the dielectric barrier stack to copper can be increased by plasma treating or ion implanting selected portions of the dielectric barrier stack with adhesion enhancing materials to increase the concentration of such materials in the stack.

    摘要: A semiconductor component that includes gate electrodes and shield electrodes and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor component. A semiconductor material has a device region, a gate contact region, a termination region, and a drain contact region. One or more device trenches is formed in the device region and one or more termination trenches is formed in the edge termination region. Shielding electrodes are formed in portions of the device trenches that are adjacent their floors. A gate dielectric material is formed on the sidewalls of the trenches in the device region and gate electrodes are formed over and electrically isolated from the shielding electrodes. The gate electrodes in the trenches in the device region are connected to the gate electrodes in the trenches in the gate contact region. The shielding electrodes in the trenches in the device region are connected to the shielding electrodes in the termination region.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to structures and methods of fabricating electromechanical memory cells having nanotube crossbar elements. Such memory cells include a substrate having transistor with a contact that electrically contacts with the transistor. A first support layer is formed over the substrate with an opening that defines a lower chamber above the electrical contact. A nanotube crossbar element is arranged to span the lower chamber. A second support layer is formed with an opening that defines a top chamber above the lower chamber, the top chamber including an extension region that extends beyond an edge of the lower chamber to expose a portion of the top surface of the first support layer. A roof layer covers the top of the top chamber and includes an aperture that exposes a portion of the extension region of the top chamber and includes a plug that extends into the aperture in the roof layer to seal the top and bottom chambers. The memory cell further includes an electrode that overlies the crossbar element such that electrical signals can activate the electrode to attract or repel the crossbar element to set a memory state for the transistor.

    摘要: An energy storage device such as a metal-insulator-metal capacitor and a method for manufacturing the energy storage device. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor includes an insulating material positioned between a bottom electrode or bottom plate and a top electrode or top plate. The surface area of the bottom electrode is greater than the surface area of the insulating material and the surface area of the insulating material is greater than the surface area of the top electrode. The top electrode and the insulating layer have edges that are laterally within and spaced apart from edges of the bottom electrode. A protective layer covers the top electrode, the edges of the top electrode, and the portions of the insulating layer that are uncovered by the top electrode. The protective layer serves as an etch mask during the formation of the bottom electrode.
