    摘要: In a semiconductor device, through hole vias or through silicon vias (TSV) may be formed so as to include an efficient stress relaxation mechanism, for instance provided on the basis of a stress relaxation layer, in order to reduce or compensate for stress forces caused by a pronounced change in volume of the conductive fill materials of the through hole vias. In this manner, the high risk of creating cracks and delamination events in conventional semiconductor devices may be significantly reduced.

    摘要: A process for fabricating an interconnect for contact holes includes forming contact holes in an insulation layer leading to a first interconnect layer, cleaning the hole surface, forming a barrier layer on the hole surface, forming an AlGeCu-containing second interconnect layer on the insulation surface by a low-temperature PVD process to fill up the contact holes, forming and patterning a mask layer, and patterning the second interconnect layer by an anisotropic etching process using the mask layer. Due to the relatively small grain sizes and precipitations that are formed in the process, the layer can be patterned directly in a subsequent patterning step, resulting in an extremely reliable and inexpensive interconnect that is easy to integrate in existing process sequences.
