Disclosed are integrated circuit structures with through-substrate vias (TSVs) processed through self-aligned contact modules. As a result, much smaller and/or denser TSVs are formed with low mechanical stress. The denser TSVs allow for more flexible wiring options.

A fully depleted silicon-on-insulator MOSFET transistor with reduced variation in threshold voltage. The substrate of the transistor is doped to form a ground plane below a buried oxide layer. A lightly doped channel is formed over the buried oxide layer. A gate dielectric of Silicon Oxynitride is formed over the channel, and a polysilicon gate is formed over the gate dielectric. The polysilicon gate is doped to have a work function not greater 4.2 electron volts for a p-type doped channel (for an n-channel MOSFET), and not less than 5.0 electron volts for an n-type doped channel (for a p-channel MOSFET). The thickness of the buried oxide layer and the channel need not be greater than 20 nanometers and 10 nanometers, respectively.

摘要:
Disclosed are integrated circuit structures with interconnects of small size, also referred to micro-bumps. As pitches of micro-bumps become smaller, their sizes also become small. This makes it difficult to probe the integrated circuit structure to verify their operations. To enable probing, test pads of larger pitches are provided. The test pads, usually formed of metal, may be protected with solder caps.
