    摘要: Interconnect structures that include a passive element, such as a thin film resistor or a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor, methods for fabricating an interconnect structure that includes a passive element, and design structures embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing an integrated circuit, such as a radiofrequency integrated circuit. A top surface of a dielectric layer is recessed relative to a top surface of a conductive feature in the dielectric layer. The passive element is formed on the recessed top surface of the dielectric layer and includes a layer of a conductive material that is coplanar with, or below, the top surface of the conductive feature.

    摘要: In one embodiment, Hexagonal tiles encompassing a large are divided into three groups, each containing ⅓ of all hexagonal tiles that are disjoined among one another. Openings for the hexagonal tiles in each group are formed in a template layer, and a set of self-assembling block copolymers is applied and patterned within each opening. This process is repeated three times to encompass all three groups, resulting in a self-aligned pattern extending over a wide area. In another embodiment, the large area is divided into rectangular tiles of two non-overlapping and complementary groups. Each rectangular area has a width less than the range of order of self-assembling block copolymers. Self-assembled self-aligned line and space structures are formed in each group in a sequential manner so that a line and space pattern is formed over a large area extending beyond the range of order.

    摘要: A first portion of a semiconductor substrate belonging to a flash memory device region is recessed to a recess depth to form a recessed region, while a second portion of the semiconductor substrate belonging to a logic device region is protected with a masking layer. A first gate dielectric layer and a first gate conductor layer formed within the recessed region such that the first gate conductive layer is substantially coplanar with the top surfaces of the shallow trench isolation structures. A second gate dielectric layer, a second gate conductor layer, and a gate cap hard mask layer, each having a planar top surface, is subsequently patterned. The pattern of the gate structure in the flash memory device region is transferred into the first gate conductor layer and the first gate dielectric layer to form a floating gate and a first gate dielectric, respectively.

    摘要: Interconnect structures possessing a non-porous (dense) low-k organosilicate glass (OSG) film utilizing a porous low-k OSG film as an etch stop layer or a porous low-k OSG film using a non-porous OSG film as a hardmask for use in semiconductor devices are provided herein. The novel interconnect structures are capable of delivering improved device performance, functionality and reliability owing to the reduced effective dielectric constant of the stack compared with that of those conventionally employed and also because of the relatively uniform line heights made feasible by these unique and seemingly counterintuitive features. The present invention also provides a fluorocarbon-based dual damascene etch process that achieves selective etching of a dense low-k OSG films relative to that of a porous low-k OSG film owing to the tunability of the gas-phase fluorine:carbon ratio (gas dissociation) and ion current below a critical threshold and given the larger carbon content of the porous film relative to that of the dense film.
