    摘要: Self-aligned via patterning with multi-colored photobuckets for back end of line (BEOL) interconnects is described. In an example, an interconnect structure for an integrated circuit includes a first layer of the interconnect structure disposed above a substrate, the first layer including a first grating of alternating metal lines and dielectric lines in a first direction. The dielectric lines have an uppermost surface higher than an uppermost surface of the metal lines. A second layer of the interconnect structure is disposed above the first layer of the interconnect structure, the second layer including a second grating of alternating metal lines and dielectric lines in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction. The dielectric lines have a lowermost surface lower than a lowermost surface of the metal lines of the second grating. The dielectric lines of the second grating overlap and contact, but are distinct from, the dielectric lines of the first grating. First and second dielectric regions are disposed between the metal lines of the first grating and the metal lines of the second grating, and in a same plane as upper portions of the dielectric lines of the first grating and lower portions of the dielectric lines of the second grating. The first dielectric region is composed of a first cross-linked photolyzable material, and the second dielectric region is composed of a second, different, cross-linked photolyzable material.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for forming interconnects in porous dielectric materials. In accordance with some embodiments, the porosity of a host dielectric layer may be reduced temporarily by stuffing its pores with a sacrificial pore-stuffing material, such as titanium nitride (TiN), titanium dioxide (TiO2), or other suitable sacrificial material having a high etch selectivity compared to the metallization and dielectric material of the interconnect. After interconnect formation within the stuffed dielectric layer, the sacrificial pore-stuffing material can be removed from the pores of the host dielectric. In some cases, removal and curing can be performed with minimal or otherwise negligible effect on the dielectric constant (κ-value), leakage performance, and/or time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) properties of the host dielectric layer. Some embodiments can be utilized, for example, in processes involving atomic layer deposition (ALD)-based and/or chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-based backend metallization of highly porous, ultra-low-κ (ULK) dielectric materials.

    摘要: SHE, a Starch Hydrolytic Enzyme active in maize endosperm (Zea mays), and the cDNA sequence encoding SHE are disclosed. The specificity of native, purified SHE is similar, in general terms, to previously known alpha-amylases. However, the activity of SHE toward amylopectin results in hydrolysis products that are distinctly different from those of other alpha-amylases. SHE, and its homologous equivalents in other plants such as rice, Arabidopsis, apple and potato, can be used in starch processing for generating different, e.g., larger sized, alpha-limit dextrins for industrial use, as compared to those generated by previously known alpha-amylases or other starch hydrolytic enzymes. In addition, modification of the expression of this enzyme in transgenic maize plants or in other transgenic organisms (including bacteria, yeast, and other plant species) can be useful for the generation of novel starch forms or altered starch metabolism.

    摘要: SU1, a starch debranching enzyme active in maize endosperm (Zea mays), and the cDNA and genomic sequences encoding SU1 are disclosed. The amino acid sequence is significantly similar to that of bacterial isoamylases, enzymes that hydrolyze α-(1→6) glycosidic bonds. Amino acid sequence similarity establishes SU1 as a member of the α-amylase superfamily of starch hydrolytic enzymes. Also disclosed are antibodies reactive with the SU1 protein, methods of producing antibodies to the SU1 protein, methods of producing fusion proteins including SU1 as well as recombinant SU1 and methods of producing transgenic plants with a modified Su1 gene. The native or expressed SU1 protein can serve as a replacement for the bacterial and fungal enzymes currently used in the starch processing industry.
