摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of forming semiconductor structure. The method includes forming a set of device features on top of a substrate; forming a first dielectric layer directly on top of the set of device features and on top of the substrate, thereby creating a height profile of the first dielectric layer measured from a top surface of the substrate, the height profile being associated with a pattern of an insulating structure that fully surrounds the set of device features; and forming a second dielectric layer in areas that are defined by the pattern to create the insulating structure. A structure formed by the method is also disclosed.

A diode for integration with finFET devices is disclosed. An in-situ doped epitaxial silicon region is grown on the cathode or anode of the diode to increase the surface area of the junction and overall silicon volume for improved heat dissipation during an ESD event.

Diodes and resistors for integrated circuits are provided. Deep trenches (DTs) are integrated into the diodes and resistors for the purposes of thermal conduction. The deep trenches facilitate conduction of heat from a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate to a bulk substrate. Semiconductor fins may be formed to align with the deep trenches.

Embodiments of the present invention provide increased distance between vias and neighboring metal lines in a back end of line (BEOL) structure. A copper alloy seed layer is deposited in trenches that are formed in a dielectric layer. The trenches are then filled with copper. An anneal is then performed to create a self-forming barrier using a seed layer constituent, such as manganese, as the manganese is drawn to the dielectric layer during the anneal. The self-forming barrier is disposed on a shoulder region of the dielectric layer, increasing the effective distance between the via and its neighboring metal lines.

A method of forming fully aligned vias in a semiconductor device includes forming an Mx level interconnect line embedded in an Mx interlevel dielectric (ILD). The Mx level interconnect is recessed below the Mx interlevel dielectric or a dielectric is selectively deposited on the Mx interlevel dielectric. The method also includes laterally etching the exposed upper portion of the Mx interlevel dielectric bounding the recess or laterally etching the selectively deposited dielectric. A dielectric cap layer and an Mx+1 level interlevel dielectric is deposited on top of the Mx interlevel dielectric, and a via opening is formed.

摘要:
An improved finFET and method of fabrication using a silicon-on-nothing process flow is disclosed. Nitride spacers protect the fin sides during formation of cavities underneath the fins for the silicon-on-nothing (SON) process. A flowable oxide fills the cavities to form an insulating dielectric layer under the fins.
