    摘要: According to the present invention, an improved method for planarizing the surface of a dielectric or metal layer in an integrated circuit manufacturing process is disclosed. The dielectric or metal layer to be planarized is selectively patterned and etched over different regions of the surface. The size, shape, density, and depth of the patterns are determined by the pattern factor of the integrated circuit structures underlying the layer to be planarized. Further, by using the pattern factor of the underlying structures to determine the density, size, depth and placement of the surface pattern, the overall planarization process can be improved. Other empirically determined factors, such as material strength, CMP slurry temperature, and pad pressure can also be used to further refine the CMP process. By varying the pattern over the entire surface of the layer to be planarized, the CMP material removal rate can be controlled to achieve a more planar surface.

    摘要: Custom connections between pairs of copper wires in a last damascene wiring level are effected by creating openings in an overlying insulating layer which span a distance between portions of the two wires, then filling the openings with aluminum. The openings can be created (or completed) by a second, maskless UV laser exposure of positive photoresist which is used for patterning the insulating layer. If an opening is not created, an aluminum connecting shape overlying the insulating layer will not effect a connection between the two wires. Similar results can be achieved by laser exposure of a resist used to pattern the aluminum layer, thereby causing breaks in connecting shape when it is desired not to have a connection.

    摘要: An aid to the manipulation of microfabricated micro tools in manufacturing and assembly is disclosed. A sequence of micro tools and a manipulator are connected to one another via attachment links as a combination. The attachment links are optimized to readily allow severing of individual micro tools from the combination as needed. The manipulator provides an aid for handling the combination via probe, pliers, clasping, mating or other device. This facilitates human or machine interaction with the combination of micro tools, either for subsequent processing, or for the assembly of the micro tools into a completed product.

    摘要: A seamless micromechanical object is cast by forming a multilevel mold, filling the mold, and selectively removing the mold with respect to the micromechanical object. The mold can have a first level having a first opening therein, and a second level on the first level, the second level having a second opening therein, the second opening smaller than the first opening. The object may contain a controlled void, for example a micromechanical auger with a void formed therethrough to be used as a capillary to drain off fluids when the auger is in use.
