A method of manufacture an integrated circuit system includes: forming an insulation region in a base layer; filling an insulator in the insulation region around a perimeter of a main chip region; forming a contact directly on and within planar extents of the insulator; and forming an upper layer over the contact to protect the main chip region.
摘要:
An interconnect stack and a method of manufacturing the same wherein the interconnect has vertical sidewall vias. The interconnect stack includes a substrate, a metal interconnect formed in the substrate, an etch stop formed on the substrate and the metal interconnect, and an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer having at least one via formed therein extending through a transition layer formed on the etch stop layer. The via is formed by etching the ILD to a first depth and ashing the interconnect stack to modify a portion of the ILD between the portion of the via formed by etching and the transition layer. Ashing converts this portion of the ILD to an oxide material. The method includes wet etching the interconnect to remove the oxide material and a portion of the transition layer to form a via extending through the ILD to the etch stop layer.

Dual stress liners for CMOS applications are provided. The dual stress liners can be formed from silicon nitride having a first portion for inducing a first stress and a second portion for inducing a second stress. An interface between the first and second stress portions is self-aligned and co-planar. To produce a co-planar self-aligned interface, polishing, for example, mechanical chemical polishing is used.
