    摘要: This invention provides a method for reducing tip-to-tip spacing between lines using a combination of photolithographic and copolymer self-assembling lithographic techniques. A mask layer is first formed over a substrate with a line structure. A trench opening of a width d is created in the mask layer. A layer of a self-assembling block copolymer is then applied over the mask layer. The block copolymer layer is annealed to form a single unit polymer block of a width or a diameter w which is smaller than d inside the trench opening. The single unit polymer block is selectively removed to form a single opening of a width or a diameter w inside the trench opening. An etch transfer process is performed using the single opening as a mask to form an opening in the line structure in the substrate.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a circuit includes the step of providing a first wiring level comprising first wiring level conductors separated by a first wiring level dielectric material. A first dielectric layer with a plurality of interconnect openings and a plurality of gap openings is formed above the first wiring level. The interconnect openings and the gap openings are pinched off with a pinching dielectric material to form relatively low dielectric constant (low-k) volumes in the gap openings. Metallic conductors comprising second wiring level conductors and interconnects to the first wiring level conductors are formed at the interconnect openings while maintaining the relatively low-k volumes in the gap openings. The gap openings with the relatively low-k volumes reduce parasitic capacitance between adjacent conductor structures formed by the conductors and interconnects.

    摘要: The circuit structure includes at least two generally parallel conductor structures, and a plurality of substantially horizontal layers of layer dielectric material interspersed with substantially horizontally extending relatively low dielectric constant (low-k) volumes. The substantially horizontal layers and the substantially horizontally extending volumes are generally interposed between the at least two generally parallel conductor structures. Also included are a plurality of substantially vertically extending relatively low-k volumes sealed within the substantially horizontal layers and the substantially horizontally extending volumes between the at least two generally parallel conductor structures. The substantially vertically extending relatively low-k volumes and the substantially horizontally extending relatively low-k volumes reduce parasitic capacitance between the at least two generally parallel conductor structures as compared to an otherwise comparable microelectronic circuit not including the relatively low-k volumes.
