    摘要: A multilevel semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) structure including a first interconnect level including a layer of dielectric material over a semiconductor substrate, the layer of dielectric material comprising a dense material for passivating semiconductor devices and local interconnects underneath; multiple interconnect layers of dielectric material formed above the layer of dense dielectric material, each layer of dielectric material including at least a layer of low-k dielectric material; and, a set of stacked via-studs in the low-k dielectric material layers, each of said set of stacked via studs interconnecting one or more patterned conductive structures, a conductive structure including a cantilever formed in the low-k dielectric material. The dielectric layer of each of the multiple interconnection levels includes a soft low-k dielectric material, wherein the cantilever and set of stacked via-studs are integrated within the soft low-k dielectric material to increase resistance to thermal fatigue crack formation. In one embodiment, each of the set of stacked via-studs in the low-k dielectric material layers is provided with a cantilever, such that the cantilevers are interwoven by connecting a cantilever on one level to a bulk portion of the conductor line on adjacent levels of interconnection, thereby increasing flexibility of stacked via-studs between interconnection levels.

    摘要: A very high current ion implanted emitter is formed in a diffused base. Windows are made through the silicon nitride and silicon dioxide layes to both the base contact and the emitter regions using a resist mask. These regions are then protected by resist and the collector contact window is opened through the remainder of the silicon dioxide layer to the reach through region. A screen oxide is then grown in all the exposed areas after the removal of the resist mask. A resist mask is applied which covers only the base and Schottky anode regions. Arsenic is then implanted through the exposed screened areas followed by an etch back step to remove the top damaged layer. With some remaining screen oxide serving as a cap, the emitter drive-in is done.
