摘要:
A 3D interconnect structure and method of manufacture are described in which metal redistribution layers (RDLs) are integrated with through-silicon vias (TSVs) and using a “plate through resist” type process flow. A silicon nitride or silicon carbide passivation layer may be provided between the thinned device wafer back side and the RDLs to provide a hermetic barrier and polish stop layer during the process flow.

Embodiments disclosed herein include methods of patterning a back end of line (BEOL) stack and the resulting structures. In an embodiment a method of patterning a BEOL stack comprises forming a grating over an interlayer dielectric (ILD), and forming a spacer over the grating. In an embodiment, the spacer is etch selective to the grating. In an embodiment, the method further comprises disposing a hardmask over the grating and the spacer, and patterning the hardmask to form an opening in the hardmask. In an embodiment, the method further comprises filling the opening with a plug, removing the hardmask, and etching the spacer. In an embodiment, a portion of the spacer is protected from the etch by the plug. In an embodiment, the method may further comprise removing the plug, and transferring the grating into the ILD with an etching process.

Techniques are disclosed for through-body via liner structures and processes of forming such liner structures in an integrated circuit. In an embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a silicon semiconductor substrate having one or more through-silicon vias (TSVs), although other through-body vias can be used as will be appreciated in light of this disclosure. Each TSV extends through at least a portion of the substrate, for example, from one side (e.g., top) of the substrate to the opposite side of the substrate (e.g., bottom), or from one internal layer of the substrate to another internal layer. A liner is disposed between the substrate and each TSV. The liner is formed of multiple alternating layers of dissimilar insulation films (e.g., tensile films and compressive films) sandwiched together.

Integrated circuit interconnect structure compatible with single damascene techniques and that includes a non-copper via comprising metal(s) of low resistivity that can be deposited at low temperature in a manner that also ensures good adhesion. Metal(s) suitable for the non-copper via may have BCC crystallinity that can advantageously template favorable crystallinity within a diffusion barrier of the upper-level interconnect feature, further reducing electrical resistance of an interconnect structure.
