    摘要: Methods for sealing a porous dielectric are presented including: receiving a substrate, the substrate including the porous dielectric; exposing the substrate to an organosilane, where the organosilane includes a hydrolysable group for facilitating attachment with the porous dielectric, and where the organosilane does not include an alkyl group; and forming a layer as a result of the exposing to seal the porous dielectric. In some embodiments, methods are presented where the organosilane includes: alkynyl groups, aryl groups, flouroalkyl groups, heteroarlyl groups, alcohol groups, thiol groups, amine groups, thiocarbamate groups, ester groups, ether groups, sulfide groups, and nitrile groups. In some embodiments, method further include: removing contamination from the porous dielectric and a conductive region of the substrate prior to the exposing; and removing contamination from the conductive region after the forming.

    摘要: A nonvolatile resistive memory element includes one or more novel oxygen isolation structures that protect the resistive switching material of the memory element from oxygen migration. One such oxygen isolation structure comprises an oxygen barrier layer that isolates the resistive switching material from other portions of the resistive memory device during fabrication and/or operation of the memory device. Another such oxygen isolation structure comprises a sacrificial layer that reacts with unwanted oxygen migrating toward the resistive switching material during fabrication and/or operation of the memory device.

    摘要: The present invention provides systems and methods for simultaneous, parallel and/or rapid serial testing of material parameters or other parameters of the result of a process. The testing is typically used for screening different methods or materials to select those methods or materials with desired properties. A reactor structure used to form the materials may consist of an array of small isolated reaction chambers that overlie the substrate so that the substrate forms a bottom surface of each isolated reaction chamber. Test structures are formed on the substrate, where the location of each test structure corresponds to an isolated reaction chamber area of the reaction structure. Test structures are used to measure certain parameters, such as by probing contact pads for each test structure, or such testing may be performed in-situ during processing.

    摘要: In embodiments of the current invention, methods of combinatorial processing and a test chip for use in these methods are described. These methods and test chips enable the efficient development of materials, processes, and process sequence integration schemes for semiconductor manufacturing processes. In general, the methods simplify the processing sequence of forming devices or partially formed devices on a test chip such that the devices can be tested immediately after formation. The immediate testing allows for the high throughput testing of varied materials, processes, or process sequences on the test chip. The test chip has multiple site isolated regions where each of the regions is varied from one another and the test chip is designed to enable high throughput testing of the different regions.
