摘要： A method for forming an interconnect structure for a semiconductor device includes defining a via in a passivation layer so as expose a top metal layer in the semiconductor device. A seed layer is formed over the passivation layer, sidewalls of the via, and the top metal layer. A barrier layer is formed over an exposed portion of the seed layer, the exposed portion defined by a first patterned opening. The semiconductor device is annealed so as to cause atoms from the barrier layer to diffuse into the seed layer thereunderneath, wherein the annealing causes diffused regions of the seed layer to have an altered electrical resistivity and electrode potential with respect to undiffused regions of the seed layer.

摘要： A method for selective electroplating of a semiconductor input/output (I/O) pad includes forming a titanium-tungsten (TiW) layer over a passivation layer on a semiconductor substrate, the TiW layer further extending into an opening formed in the passivation layer for exposing the I/O pad, such that the TiW layer covers sidewalls of the opening and a top surface of the I/O pad. A seed layer is formed over the TiW layer, and portions of the seed layer are selectively removed such that remaining seed layer material corresponds to a desired location of interconnect metallurgy for the I/O pad. At least one metal layer is electroplated over the remaining seed layer material, using the TiW layer as a conductive electroplating medium.

摘要： A method and structure for protecting a flowable oxide insulator in a semiconductor by oxidizing sidewalls of the FOX insulator, optionally nitridizing the oxidized FOX sidewalls, and then covering all surfaces of a trough or plurality of troughs in the FOX insulator, including the sidewalls, with a conductive secondary protective layer. In a multiple layer damascene structure, the surface of the FOX insulator is also oxidized, an additional oxide layer is deposited thereon, and a nitride layer deposited on the oxide layer. Then steps are repeated to obtain a comparable damascene structure. The materials can vary and each damascene layer may be either a single damascene or a dual damascene layer.

摘要： A solder joint comprising a solder capture pad on a substrate having a circuit; and a lead free solder selected from the group comprising Sn—Ag—Cu solder and Sn—Ag solder adhered to the solder capture pad; the solder selected from the group comprising between 0.1 to 2.0% by weight Sb or Bi, and 0.5 to 3.0% Ag. Formation of voids at an interface between the solder and the solder capture pad is suppressed, by including Zn. Interlayer dielectric delamination is suppressed, and electromigration characteristics are greatly improved. Methods for forming solder joints using the solders.
