摘要: A device and methods of forming the device are disclosed. A substrate with a circuits component and a dielectric layer with interconnects is provided. A pad level dielectric layer is formed over the dielectric layer. A primary passivation layer is formed over the pad level dielectric layer with pad interconnects. The substrate is subjected to an alloying process. During the alloying process, the primary passivation layer prevents or reduces formation of hillocks on surfaces of the pad interconnects to improve surface smoothness of the pad interconnects. Pad openings are formed in the pad level dielectric layer to expose top surfaces of the pad interconnects. A cap dielectric layer is formed on the substrate and lines the primary passivation layer as well as the exposed top surfaces of the pad interconnects. A final passivation layer is formed on the substrate and covers the cap dielectric layer. The final passivation layer is patterned to form final passivation openings corresponding to the pad openings.

摘要: A structure includes a first metal structure including a first upper metal feature having a first sidewall spacer thereabout, and a first lower metal feature under the first upper metal feature. The first lower metal feature includes a sidewall devoid of the first sidewall spacer. The structure also includes a second metal structure spaced from the first metal structure. The second metal structure includes a second upper metal feature having a second sidewall spacer thereabout, and a second lower metal feature under the first upper metal feature. The second lower metal feature includes a sidewall devoid of the second sidewall spacer. A dielectric is between the first metal structure and the second metal structure. The dielectric is devoid of any voids therein, and the opening it fills has a high aspect ratio. A related method is also provided.

摘要: Methods of producing integrated circuits and integrated circuits produced by those methods are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method of producing an integrated circuit includes forming first and second shallow trench isolations within a substrate, where the first and second shallow trench isolations have an initial shallow trench height. A base well is formed in the substrate, where the base well is positioned between the first and second shallow trench isolations. A gate dielectric is formed overlying the base well, and a floating gate is formed overlying the gate dielectric. An initial shallow trench height is reduced to a reduced shallow trench height shorter than the initial shallow trench height after the floating gate is formed.
