Abstract:
An integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor substrate; a through-semiconductor via (TSV) opening extending into the semiconductor substrate; and a TSV liner in the TSV opening. The TSV liner includes a sidewall portion on a sidewall of the TSV opening and a bottom portion at a bottom of the TSV opening. The bottom portion of the TSV liner has a bottom height greater than a middle thickness of the sidewall portion of the TSV liner.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a dielectric material including a low dielectric constant material and an additive. The additive includes a compound having a Si—X—Si bridge, where X is a number of carbon atoms between 1 and 8. The additive may include terminal Si—CH3 groups. The dielectric material including the additive may be used as an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer of a semiconductor device. The dielectric material including the additive may be formed using a CVD or sol-gel process. One example of the additive is bis(triethoxysilyl)ethene.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device and method for making such that provides improved mechanical strength is disclosed. The semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate; an adhesion layer disposed over the semiconductor substrate; and a porous low-k film disposed over the semiconductor substrate, wherein the porous low-k film comprises a porogen and a composite bonding structure including at least one Si—O—Si bonding group and at least one bridging organic functional group.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit device has a dual damascene structure including a lower via portion and an upper line portion. The lower via portion is formed in a polyimide layer, and the upper line portion is formed in an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer formed of USG or polyimide. A passivation layer is formed on the IMD layer, and a bond pad is formed overlying the passivation layer to electrically connect the upper line portion.

Abstract:
A complex signal processing system for multiple fans is used to control the rotation of a first fan and a second fan. The speed signals of the first fan and the second fan are processed through an XOR operation to obtain a complex speed signal. In response to the complex speed signal, the speed and the operational status of the first fan and the second fan can be evaluated.
