Disclosed is a process for producing multi-level conductor/insulator films on a processed semiconductor substrate having a conductor pattern. The insulator layers, each comprise a photosensitive polyimide polymer composition, and this allows the desired wiring channels and stud vias to be formed directly in the insulator layers, without the use of separate masking layers and resulting image transfer steps, thus providing a less cumbersome and costly process.
摘要:
A sequence of masking steps reduces the amount of transference of a workpiece among work stations and reduces certain tolerances required for mask alignment in the construction of integrated circuits, and a gray level mask suitable for photolithography. In the integrated circuit, masking layers are developed directly in a wafer for delineating vertical and horizontal portions of an electrically conductive path. The mask is constructed of a transparent glass substrate which supports plural levels of materials having different optical transmissivities. In the case of a mask employing only two of these levels, one level may be constructed of a glass made partially transmissive by substitution of silver ions in place of metal ions of alkali metal silicates employed in the construction of the glass. The second layer may be made opaque by construction of the layer of a metal such as chromium. Both the wafer and the mask are fabricated by a photoresist structure which is etched in specific regions by photolithographic masking to enable selective etching of exposed regions of the level of materials of differing optical transmissivities. Various etches are employed for selective etching of the photoresist and other ones of the layers. The etches include plasma etch with chloride ions to attack the chromium of the opaque layer, compounds of fluorine to attack the glass layer, and reactive ion etching with oxygen to attack the photoresist structure.

摘要:
Disclosed is a process for passivating a metal surface in a metal/polyimide structure, such as a polyimide layer on a semiconductor substrate containing a pattern of metallization. The process invovles the formation of an intermediate layer of a silsesquioxane polymer between the polyimide layer and the substrate. The silsesquioxane layer passivates the metal, to inhibit interaction between the metal surface and the polyimide precursor material used in forming the polyimide, to provide a moisture-resistant and oxidation-resistant interface.

摘要:
A semiconductor fabrication process for forming borderless contacts (130, 170, 172) using a removable mandrel (110). The process involves depositing a mandrel on an underlying barrier layer (100) designed to protect underlying structures (40) formed on a substrate (24). The mandrel is made from a material that will etch at a faster rate than the barrier layer so as to permit the formation of openings in the mandrel to be stopped on the barrier layer without penetrating such layer. After depositing a contact (130) in a first opening (120) formed in the mandrel, a second opening (140) is formed and a second contact (170) is deposited therein. Thereafter, the mandrel is removed and replaced with a layer of solid dielectric material (180).

Lateral cathode field emission devices and methods of fabrication are set forth. Conventional integrated circuit fabrication techniques are advantageously used to produce the lateral FEDs. Cathode tips on the order of several hundred angstroms are consistently obtained as well as exact spacing of the cathode to gate and cathode to anode. Various cathode and device configurations are described, including a circular field emission device. A single integrated structure having multiple cathodes and multiple gates is possible to perform various logic operations and/or enhance current output from the device. Multiple field effect devices, with cathodes disposed parallel or perpendicular to the substrate, are integrally coupled through a sharing of one or more metallization layers definitive of the elements of the devices. Significant advantages in current density and circuit layout can be obtained. Methods for fabricating the various devices are also explained.
