摘要:
A method of forming multiple SOI wafers from a plurality of individual wafers each having a first side and a second side. The method includes forming an oxide surface on the first side on each of the plurality of individual wafers and forming a hydrogen rich region at a preselected depth on the second side on each of the plurality of individual wafers. The wafers are then bonded into a stacked configuration and heat treated to fracture the wafers at the hydrogen rich regions. This fracture forms at least two SOI wafers.

A method and structure for fabricating an electronic device using an SOI technique that results in formation of a buried oxide layer. The method includes fabricating at least one first component of the electronic device and fabricating at least one second component of the electronic device, wherein the first component and the second component are on opposite sides of the buried oxide layer, thereby causing the buried oxide layer to perform a function within the electronic device. Entire circuits can be designed around this technique.

An electrically blowable fuse structure usable with organic insulators in microelectronic parts is provided. The fuse structure is made of a first heat resistant member, a fusing element and a second heat resistant member. The heat resistant members are in substantial contact with the fuse and thermally insulate the fuse from the organic insulator. The ends of each fuse are electrically connected to a pair conductors.

A thin film capacitor having a dual bottom electrode is provided. The bottom electrode comprises a first layer of metal and a second layer of platinum, said metal of the first layer being of the nature of forming a stable intermetallic phase with the platinum during heat treatment. The metal of the first layer is typically selected from the group consisting of Hf, Zr, and Ta. The thin film capacitor is suitable for the decoupling capacitor of VLSI.

A process applicable to the restoration of defective or rejected semiconductor wafers to a defect-free form uses etchants and a variation of the Smart-Cut.RTM. process. Because of the use of the variation on the Smart-Cut.RTM. process, diffusion regions are removed without significantly affecting the specifications of the semiconductor wafer. Therefore, a defective or rejected wafer can be restored to near original condition for use in semiconductor manufacturing.

The fabrication and use of corrosion resistant Cu/Cu(x)Ge(y) alloy or Cu/Cu.sub.3 Ge phase bilayer interconnect metal lines is disclosed. A solid state, selective process of forming a Cu.sub.3 Ge phase or Cu(x)Ge(y) alloy by reacting GeH.sub.4 gas with Cu surface at low pressure in CVD reactor at temperatures of 200.degree.-450.degree. C. is described. Corrosion resistant semiconductor devices and packaging interconnects where corrosion of copper interconnects was a problem, is now made possible by the Cu/Cu.sub.3 Ge phase or Cu.sub.x Ge.sub.y alloy bilayer of the present invention. A structure where copper vias are completely or partially converted to Cu.sub.3 Ge or Cu.sub.x Ge.sub.y is presented. Also, dissimilar metals like Al--Cu can be connected by Cu.sub.3 Ge phase or Cu.sub.x Ge.sub.y alloy filled vias to improve electromigration performance.

An integrated circuit having organic dielectric between interconnection layers eliminates damage caused by vapors outgassing from the organic dielectric by the use of a two-component organic layer having a breathable etch resistant organic layer above the main organic dielectric layer, both of the organic layers remaining in the final circuit. The etch resistant layer is resistant to the etchant used to pattern the layer of interconnect above the organic dielectric.

Electromigration activity is decreased and lifetime is extended in solder stripes employed as conductors and terminals on microelectronic devices by forming an alloy of a solute element, such as copper, with tin in a lead/tin solder and providing a substantially uniform distribution of particles of the intermetallic compound in the solder. The concentration of the solute element is maintained at less than about three times the tin concentration and less than about 10% of the amount of the solder.

摘要:
A process applicable to the production of monocrystalline films improves on the Smart-Cut.RTM. process by using an etch stop layer in conjunction with the Smart-Cut.RTM. process. Because of the etch stop layer, no chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) is required after fabrication. Thus, the thickness and smoothness of the device layer in the fabricated silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate is determined by the uniformity and smoothness of the deposited layers and wet etch selectivity, as opposed to the CMP parameters. Therefore, the smoothness and uniformity of the device layer are improved.
