    摘要: A method and structure for fabricating a laser fuse and a method for programming the laser fuse. The laser fuse includes a first dielectric layer having two vias filled with a first self-passivated electrically conducting material. A fuse link is on top of the first dielectric layer. The fuse link electrically connects the two vias and includes a second material having a characteristic of changing its electrical resistance after being exposed to a laser beam. Two mesas are over the fuse link and directly over the two vias. The two mesas each include a third self-passivated electrically conducting material. The laser fuse is programmed by directing a laser beam to the fuse link. The laser beam is controlled such that, in response to the impact of the laser beam upon the fuse link, the electrical resistance of the fuse link changes but the fuse link is not blown off. Such electrical resistance change is sensed and converted to digital signal.

    摘要: An interconnect structure which includes a metal-containing cap located atop each conductive feature that is present within a dielectric material is provided in which a surface region of the metal-containing cap is oxidized prior to the subsequent deposition of any other dielectric material thereon. Moreover, metal particles that are located on the surface of the dielectric material between the conductive features are also oxidized at the same time as the surface region of the metal-containing cap. This provides a structure having a reduced leakage current. In accordance with the present invention, the oxidation step is performed after electroless plating of the metal-containing cap and prior to the deposition of a dielectric capping layer or an overlying interlayer or intralevel dielectric material.

    摘要: A method patterns at least one opening in a low-K insulator layer of a multi-level integrated circuit structure, such that a copper conductor is exposed at the bottom of the opening. The method then lines the sidewalls and the bottom of the opening with a first Tantalum Nitride layer in a first chamber and forms a Tantalum layer on the first Tantalum Nitride layer in the first chamber. Next, sputter etching on the opening is performed in the first chamber, so as to expose the conductor at the bottom of the opening. A second Tantalum Nitride layer is formed on the conductor, the Tantalum layer, and the first Tantalum Nitride layer, again in the first chamber. After the second Tantalum Nitride layer is formed, the methods herein form a flash layer comprising a Platinum group metal on the second Tantalum Nitride layer in a second, different chamber.
