    摘要: A method and resulting structure for reducing refraction and reflection occurring at the interface between adjacent layers of different materials in a semiconductor device, assembly or laminate during an alignment step in a semiconductor device fabrication process. The method comprises forming a planar-surfaced layer of material, having a first index of refraction, over a substrate of the semiconductor device, assembly or laminate. A corrective layer is formed over the planar-surfaced layer and a second layer, having a second index of refraction, is then formed over the corrective layer. The corrective layer is composed of a material having an intermediate index of refraction between the first index of refraction and the second index of refraction. The method can also be modified to include one or more layers of materials and/or intermediate refraction layers interposed between or above any of the aforementioned adjacent layers. The aforementioned method and resulting structures can be further modified by forming an additional layer of material, having the requisite intermediate index of refraction, over an uppermost layer to further reduce reflection occurring at the interface between the uppermost layer and air. The invention is also directed to semiconductor devices, assemblies or laminates formed through the aforementioned methods and incorporating the aforementioned structures.

    摘要: A semiconductor device including a structure having an upper surface and an contact surface formed at the upper surface of the structure. An insulating material is formed over the contact surface and a conductive runner extends over the active area such that a lower surface of the conductive runner is above and separated from the active area. A widened portion is formed in the conductive runner with an opening formed in the widened portion and self-aligned to edges of the widened portion. A conductive pillar is self-aligned to the opening and extends downward through the opening, through the insulating material, to the active area. The conductive runner provides local interconnection that can be routed over device features formed in and on the structure without using an additional metal layer.
