    摘要: A method for fabricating a high-density array of crown capacitors with increased capacitance while reducing process damage to the bottom electrodes is achieved. The process is particularly useful for crown capacitors for future DRAM circuits with minimum feature sizes of 0.18 micrometer or less. A conformal conducting layer is deposited over trenches in an interlevel dielectric (ILD) layer, and is polished back to form capacitor bottom electrodes. A novel photoresist mask and etching are then used to pattern the ILD layer to provide a protective interlevel dielectric structure between capacitors. The protective structures prevent damage to the bottom electrodes during subsequent processing. The etching also exposes portions of the outer surface of bottom electrodes for increased capacitance (>50%). In a first embodiment the ILD structure is formed between pairs of adjacent bottom electrodes, and in a second embodiment the ILD structure is formed between four adjacent bottom electrodes.

    摘要: A method includes bonding a first bond layer to a second bond layer through eutectic bonding. The step of bonding includes heating the first bond layer and the second bond layer to a temperature higher than a eutectic temperature of the first bond layer and the second bond layer, and performing a pumping cycle. The pumping cycle includes applying a first force to press the first bond layer and the second bond layer against each other. After the step of applying the first force, a second force lower than the first force is applied to press the first bond layer and the second bond layer against each other. After the step of applying the second force, a third force higher than the second force is applied to press the first bond layer and the second bond layer against each other.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a substrate wafer, a dielectric layer overlying the substrate wafer, a patterned conductor layer in the dielectric layer, and a first barrier layer overlying the conductor layer. A silicon top wafer is bonded to the dielectric layer. A via is formed through the top wafer and a portion of the dielectric layer to the first barrier layer. A sidewall dielectric layer is formed along inner walls of the via, adjacent the top wafer to a distance below an upper surface of the top wafer, forming a sidewall dielectric layer shoulder. A sidewall barrier layer is formed inward of the sidewall dielectric layer, lining the via from the first barrier layer to the upper surface of the top wafer. A conductive layer fills the via and a top barrier layer is formed on the conductive layer, the sidewall barrier layer, and the top wafer.

    摘要: An improved magnetoresistive memory device has a reduced distance between the magnetic memory element and a conductive memory line used for writing to the magnetic memory element. The reduced distance is facilitated by forming the improved magnetoresistive memory device according to a method that includes forming a mask over the magnetoresistive memory element and forming an insulating layer over the mask layer, then removing portions of the insulating layer using a planarization process. A conductive via can then be formed in the mask layer, for example using a damascene process. The conductive memory line can then be formed over the mask layer and conductive via.
