    摘要: A semiconductor structure is provided that includes a lower interconnect level including a first dielectric material having at least one conductive feature embedded therein; a dielectric capping layer located on the first dielectric material and some, but not all, portions of the at least one conductive feature; and an upper interconnect level including a second dielectric material having at least one conductively filled via and an overlying conductively filled line disposed therein, wherein the conductively filled via is in contact with an exposed surface of the at least one conductive feature of the first interconnect level by an anchoring area. Moreover, the conductively filled via and conductively filled line of the inventive structure are separated from the second dielectric material by a single continuous diffusion barrier layer. As such, the second dielectric material includes no damaged regions in areas adjacent to the conductively filled line. A method of forming such an interconnect structure is also provided.

    摘要: The present invention provides an interconnect structure which has a high leakage resistance and substantially no metallic residues and no physical damage present at an interface between the interconnect dielectric and an overlying dielectric capping layer. The interconnect structure of the invention also has an interface between each conductive feature and the overlying dielectric capping layer that is substantially defect-free. The interconnect structure of the invention includes a non-plasma deposited dielectric capping layer which is formed utilizing a process including a thermal and chemical-only pretreatment step that removes surface oxide from atop each of the conductive features as well as metallic residues from atop the interconnect dielectric material. Following this pretreatment step, the dielectric capping layer is deposited.

    摘要: The present invention provides a reprogrammable electrically blowable fuse and associated design structure. The electrically blowable fuse is programmed using an electro-migration effect and is reprogrammed using a reverse electro-migration effect. The state (i.e., “opened” or “closed”) of the electrically blowable fuse is determined by a sensing system which compares a resistance of the electrically blowable fuse to a reference resistance.
