    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a back-end-of-the-line metallization layer. The method is performed by forming a plurality of freestanding metal layer structures (i.e., metal layer structures not surrounded by a dielectric material) on a semiconductor substrate within an area defined by a patterned photoresist layer. A diffusion barrier layer is deposited onto the metal layer structure in a manner such that the diffusion barrier layer conforms to the top and sides of the metal layer structure. A dielectric material is formed on the surface of the substrate to fill areas between metal layer structures. The substrate is planarized to remove excess metal and dielectric material and to expose the top of the metal layer structure.

    摘要: A method of making a device. The method comprises providing a first layer including a first material on a surface of a substrate, removing a portion of the first layer and a corresponding portion of the substrate to form an opening in the first layer and a recessed portion in the surface of the substrate, and supplying a liquid mixture to the opening and the recessed portion. The liquid mixture includes a first component having a first chemical affinity to the first material and a second component having a second chemical affinity to the first material, which is smaller than the first chemical affinity. The method also includes removing the second component and forming a second layer including the first component. The second layer covers the recessed portion and adheres to an edge portion of the first layer, such that the second layer and the recessed portion define a cavity.

    摘要: A structure having a cavity or enclosed space is fabricated by forming a recessed region in a surface of a substrate, and providing a first layer adjacent the recessed region. A liquid mixture including first and second components is supplied to the recessed region. The first component has a higher chemical affinity to the first layer than the second component such that the first component separates from the second component and adheres to an edge portion of the first layer. The substrate may then be heated to remove the second component from the recessed region through evaporation. As a result, the first component remains as a second layer adhering to the edge portion of the first layer and covering the recessed region, thereby defining a cavity or enclosed space with the recessed region. Unique structures including such cavities may be employed to realize a capacitor having a fluid, as opposed to solid, dielectric material, in order to increase the capacitance of the capacitor. Alternatively, such cavities may confine the flow of gases within narrow grooves of a substrate to realize a fuel cell having reduced size.

    摘要: A workpiece transfer system has a plurality of joints having a bearing and a primary and secondary transformer coil, wherein power provided to the primary transformer coil and secondary transformer coil of each joint produces mutual inductance between the primary and secondary transformer coil of the respective joint. A first pair of arms are rotatably coupled to a blade by a first pair of the joints, wherein the primary transformer coil of each of the first pair of joints is operably coupled to the first pair of arms, and the secondary transformer coil of each of the first pair of joints is operably coupled to the blade and an electrode beneath a dielectric workpiece retaining surface of the blade. The electrode is contactlessly energized through the transformer coils of the joint and the blade can chuck and de-chuck a workpiece by reversing current directions and by voltage adjustment.
