    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for providing a decoupled via fill. Given a via trench, a first barrier layer is conformally deposited onto the bottom and sidewalls of the trench. A first metal fill is blanket deposited into the trench. The non-selective deposition is subsequently recessed so that only a portion of the trench is filled with the first metal. The previously deposited first barrier layer is removed along with the first metal, thereby re-exposing the upper sidewalls of the trench. A second barrier layer is conformally deposited onto the top of the first metal and the now re-exposed trench sidewalls. A second metal fill is blanket deposited into the remaining trench. Planarization and/or etching can be carried out as needed for subsequent processing. Thus, a methodology for filling high aspect ratio vias using a dual metal process is provided. Note, however, the first and second fill metals may be the same.

    摘要: A monocrystalline metal-oxide stack including a ferroelectric (FE) tunneling layer and a buffer layer is epitaxially grown on a growth substrate. A first polycrystalline metal electrode layer is deposited over the tunneling layer. A bonding material layer is further deposited over the electrode layer. The bonding material layer is then bonded to a material layer on a front or back side of a host substrate that further comprises a transistor cell. Once bonded, the growth substrate may be removed from the metal-oxide stack to complete a transfer of the metal-oxide stack from the growth substrate to the host substrate. A second polycrystalline metal electrode layer is then deposited over the exposed buffer layer, placing both electrodes in close proximity to the FE tunneling layer.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe removing seams and voids in metal interconnects and associated techniques and configurations. In one embodiment, a method includes conformally depositing a metal into a recess disposed in a dielectric material to form an interconnect, wherein conformally depositing the metal creates a seam or void in the deposited metal within or directly adjacent to the recess and heating the metal in the presence of a reactive gas to remove the seam or void, wherein the metal has a melting point that is greater than a melting point of copper. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
