    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: Device and a method of forming a device are presented. The method includes providing a substrate prepared with isolation regions. The substrate includes first, second and third regions. The first region includes a memory region, the second region includes a high voltage (HV) region and the third region includes a logic region. An additional dielectric layer covering the substrate and the isolation regions is formed. A first select region is selectively processed while protecting first non-select regions. The first select region is one of the first, second and third device regions. A first gate dielectric is formed on the select region. Top substrate active area and isolation regions of the first non-select regions are not exposed during processing of the first select region and forming the first gate dielectric.
