    摘要: A conductive barrier material of a metallization system of a semiconductor device may be formed on the basis of one or more deposition/etch cycles, thereby providing a reduced material thickness in the bevel region, while enhancing overall thickness uniformity in the active region of the semiconductor substrate. In some illustrative embodiments, two or more deposition/etch cycles may be used, thereby providing the possibility to select reduced target values for the barrier thickness in the die regions, while also obtaining a significantly reduced thickness in the bevel region.

    摘要: By providing large area metal plates in combination with respective peripheral areas of increased adhesion characteristics, delamination events may be effectively monitored substantially without negatively affecting the overall performance of the semiconductor device during processing and operation. In some illustrative embodiments, dummy vias may be provided at the periphery of a large area metal plate, thereby allowing delamination in the central area while substantially avoiding a complete delamination of the metal plate. Consequently, valuable information with respect to mechanical characteristics of the metallization layer as well as process flow parameters may be efficiently monitored.
