    摘要: A method includes retrieving first layouts of an integrated circuit from a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The first layouts include a via pattern in a via layer, and a metal line pattern in a metal layer immediately over the via layer. The metal line pattern has an enclosure to the via pattern. The enclosure is increased to a second enclosure to generate second layouts of the integrated circuit.

    摘要: A metal-oxide-metal capacitor comprises a first electrode, a second electrode, a plurality of first fingers and a plurality of second fingers. Each first finger and its corresponding second finger are in parallel and separated by a low k dielectric material. A via-hole region is employed to enclose the metal-oxide-metal capacitor so as to remove the moisture stored in the low k dielectric material.

    摘要: A metal-oxide-metal capacitor comprises a first electrode, a second electrode, a plurality of first fingers and a plurality of second fingers. Each first finger and its corresponding second finger are in parallel and separated by a low k dielectric material. A guard ring is employed to enclose the metal-oxide-metal capacitor so as to prevent moisture from penetrating into the low k dielectric material.

    摘要: A semiconductor wafer has a die area and a scribe area. A first dummy pad is formed in a first test line area of the scribe area and filled with a first material as part of a first metal layer. A first interlayer dielectric is formed over the first metal layer. A first interconnect pattern is formed in the die area and above the first interlayer dielectric, and a first trench pattern is formed in the first test line area of the scribe area and above the interlayer dielectric. The first interconnect pattern and the first trench pattern are filled with a second metal layer, and the first trench pattern is aligned above the first dummy pad. An enhanced test line structure including the first trench pattern and the first dummy pad is formed and probed in a back end of line (BEOL) process.
