摘要: A semiconductor structure and method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure having a front side and an opposing backside. An early power delivery network (EBPDN) of wires is built above a substrate layer. Buried power rails (BPRs) are built above levels of the PDN and connected to the EBPDN by short length via connections that can be self-aligned to the back side buried power rails. Both BPRs and vias connections have a common metallization. A front side level of transistor devices are built at the front side of the structure above the BPRs. The resulting formed buried power rail structure has an aspect ratio of height:width greater than 4:1, a height >3 times a height of the formed via structure; and a via structure having a length greater than a height of the formed conductive power rail structure.

摘要: Semiconductor integrated circuit devices are provided which have standard cells with ultra-short standard cell heights. For example, a device comprises an integrated circuit comprising a standard cell which comprises a first cell boundary and a second cell boundary. The standard cell comprises an n-track cell height defined by a distance between the first cell boundary and the second cell boundary, wherein n is four or less.

摘要: An approach providing a semiconductor wiring structure with a self-aligned top via on a first metal line and under a second metal line. The semiconductor wiring structure includes a plurality of first metal lines in a bottom portion of a first dielectric material. The semiconductor wiring structure includes a top via in a top portion of the first dielectric material, where the top via is over a first metal line of the plurality of first metal lines. The semiconductor wiring structure includes a second dielectric material above each of the plurality of first metal lines except the first metal line of the plurality of first metal lines. Furthermore, the semiconductor wiring structure includes a second metal line above the top via, wherein the second metal line is in a third dielectric material and a hardmask layer that is under the third dielectric material.

摘要: An approach to provide a semiconductor structure using different two metal materials for interconnects in the middle of the line and the back end of the line metal layers of a semiconductor chip. The semiconductor structure includes the first metal material connecting both horizontally and vertically with the second metal material and the second metal material connecting both horizontally and vertically with the first metal material where the second metal material is more resistant to electromigration than the first metal material.

摘要: A semiconductor device containing a self-aligned contact rail is provided. The self-aligned contact rail can have a reduced critical dimension, CD. The self-aligned contact rail can be obtained utilizing a sacrificial semiconductor fin as a placeholder structure for the contact rail. The used of the sacrificial semiconductor fin enables reduced, and more controllable, CDs.

摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes forming a first trench partially through a first substrate from a first side of the first substrate. The method also includes widening a bottom portion of the first trench to form a lateral footing area of the first trench. The method includes forming a first metallization in the first trench; forming a second trench through a second substrate from a second side of the second substrate to expose at least a portion of first metallization in an area corresponding to the lateral footing area of the first trench, the second side being opposite to the first side. The method also includes forming a second metallization in the second trench in contact with the first metallization.

摘要: A method of forming an interconnect structure includes forming at least one second-level interconnect in a sacrificial dielectric layer that is formed on an upper surface of a sacrificial etch stop layer, and removing the sacrificial dielectric layer and the sacrificial etch stop layer while maintaining the at least one second-level interconnect so as to expose an underlying dielectric layer. The method further includes depositing a replacement dielectric layer on an upper surface of the underlying dielectric layer to embed the at least one second-level interconnect in the replacement dielectric layer. Accordingly, an interconnect structure can be formed that includes one or more first-level interconnect in a dielectric layer and one or more second-level interconnects in a replacement dielectric layer stacked on the dielectric layer. The replacement dielectric layer directly contacts the dielectric layer.

摘要: A multilayered integrated circuit includes a first layer with a first conductive element overlaying a substrate, a second layer with a second conductive element overlaying the first layer, an intermediate layer between the first layer and the second layer, and a via structure. The via structure is partially embedded within the intermediate layer and is communicatively coupled to the first conductive element and the second conductive element. The via structure extends from the first conductive element and has a first end with a first end width and a second end with a second end width. The second end is further from the substrate than the first end and the first end width is greater than the second end width such that the via structure tapers between the first end and the second end of the via structure.
