    Abstract: A method for thinning a wafer is provided. In one embodiment, a wafer is provided having a plurality of semiconductor chips, the wafer having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein each of the chips includes a set of through silicon vias (TSVs), each of the TSVs substantially sealed by a liner layer and a barrier layer. A wafer carrier is provided for attaching to the second side of the wafer. The first side of the wafer is thinned and thereafer recessed to partially expose portions of the liner layers, barrier layers and the TSVs protruding from the wafer. An isolation layer is deposited over the first side of the wafer and the top portions of the liner layers, barrier layers and the TSVs. Thereafter, an insulation layer is deposited over the isolation layer. The insulation layer is then planarized to expose top portions of the TSVs. A dielectric layer is deposited over the planarized first side of the wafer. One or more electrical contacts are formed in the dielectric layer for electrical connection to the exposed one or more TSVs.

    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a first conductive layer coupled to a transistor. A first dielectric layer is over the first conductive layer. A second conductive layer is within the first dielectric layer, contacting a portion of a top surface of the first conductive layer. The second conductive layer includes a cap portion extending above a top surface of the first dielectric layer. A first dielectric spacer is between the first dielectric layer and the second conductive layer. A phase change material layer is above a top surface of the second conductive layer. A third conductive layer is over the phase change material layer. A second dielectric layer is over the first dielectric layer. A second dielectric spacer is on a sidewall of the cap portion, wherein a thermal conductivity of the second dielectric spacer is less than that of the first dielectric layer or that of the second dielectric layer.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is disclosed. First, a semiconductor substrate having a doped region(s) is provided. Thereafter, a pre-amorphous implantation process and neutral (or non-neutral) species implantation process is performed over the doped region(s) of the semiconductor substrate. Subsequently, a silicide is formed in the doped region(s). By conducting a pre-amorphous implantation combined with a neutral species implantation, the present invention reduces the contact resistance, such as at the contact area silicide and source/drain substrate interface.
