    摘要: The fabrication of an integrated circuit includes a first phase of producing an electronic chip and a second phase of producing at least one auxiliary component placed above the chip and of producing a protective cover which covers the auxiliary component. The first phase of producing the chip is effected from a first semiconductor substrate and comprises the formation of a cavity lying in a chosen region of the chip and emerging at the upper surface of the chip. The second production phase includes the production of the auxiliary component from a second semiconductor substrate, separate from the first, and then the placement in the cavity of the auxiliary component supported by the second substrate and the mutual adhesion of the second substrate to the upper surface of the chip lying outside the cavity. The second substrate then also forms the protective cover.

    摘要: An interconnect structure on a substrate is provided. The interconnect structure comprises electrically conductive interconnect elements on at least two interconnect levels on or above a substrate level. In the interconnect structure of the invention, at least one electrically conductive via connects a first interconnect element on one interconnect level or on the substrate level to a second interconnect element on a different interconnect level. The via extends in a via opening of a first dielectric layer and comprises an electrically conductive via material that contains electrically conductive cylindrical carbon nanostructures. At least one cover-layer segment reaches into a lateral extension of the via opening and defines a via aperture that is small enough to prevent a penetration of the carbon nanostructures through the via aperture. This structure enhances control of carbon nanostructure growth in a height direction during fabrication of the interconnect structure.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an integrated-circuit device that has at least one Copper-containing feature in a dielectric layer, and a diffusion-barrier layer stack arranged between the feature and the dielectric layer. The integrated-circuit device of the invention has a diffusion-barrier layer stack, which comprises, in a direction from the Copper-containing feature to the dielectric layer, a CuSiN layer and a SiN layer. This layer combination provides an efficient barrier for suppressing Copper diffusion from the feature into the dielectric layer. Furthermore, a CuSiN/SiN layer sequence provides an improved adhesion between the layers of the diffusion-barrier layer stack and the dielectric layer, and thus improves the electromigration performance of the integrated-circuit device during operation. Therefore, the reliability of device operation and the lifetime of the integrate-circuit device are improved in comparison with prior-art devices. The invention further relates to a method for fabricating such an integrated-circuit device.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a diffusion-barrier cap on a Cu-containing interconnect element that has crystallites of at least two different crystal orientations, comprises selectively incorporating Si into only a first set of crystallites with at least one first crystal orientation, employing first process conditions, and subsequently selectively forming a first adhesion-layer portion comprising CuSi and a first diffusion-barrier-layer portion only on the first set of crystallites, thus forming a first barrier-cap portion, and subsequently selectively incorporating Si into only the second set of crystallites, employing second process conditions that differ from the first process conditions, and forming a second barrier-cap portion comprising a Si-containing second diffusion-barrier layer portion on the second set of crystallites of the interconnect element. The processing improves the properties of the diffusion-barrier cap and secures a continuous formation of a diffusion-barrier layer on the interconnect element.

    摘要: Properties of a hard mask liner are used against the diffusion of a removal agent to prevent air cavity formation in specific areas of an interconnect stack. According to one embodiment, there is provided a method in which there is defined a portion on a surface of an IC interconnect stack as being specific to air cavity introduction, with the defined portion being smaller than the surface of the substrate. At least one metal track is produced within the interconnect stack, and there is deposited at least one interconnect layer having a sacrificial material and a permeable material within the interconnect stack. There is defined at least one trench area surrounding the defined portion and forming at least one trench, and a hard mask layer is deposited to coat the trench. At least one air cavity is formed below the defined portion of the surface by using a removal agent for removing the sacrificial material to which the permanent material is resistant.
