    摘要: A method and structure for reducing short circuits in semiconductor devices is disclosed. A three layer interlevel dielectric structure is formed over a semiconductor substrate, which typically comprises a first metallization level, M1. The three layer dielectric includes a first insulator layer, a middle spin-on glass (SOG) layer, and a top second insulator layer. The spin-on glass fills defects in the surface of the first insulator layer created during planarization using chemical-mechanical-polishing (CMP). Prior to deposition of the second insulator, a first via is etched through the SOG film and the first insulator layer to expose a portion of the semiconductor substrate, typically a conductive metal. A conductive metal is deposited into the first via and planarized to form a metal interconnection stud. Because the surface defects are filled and covered with the SOG film, none of the deposited metal enters the defects, and short circuits with the stud are greatly reduced. The second insulator layer is deposited onto the SOG film and the end of the metal interconnection stud. A second via is formed through the second insulator material to the stud end, and the second via is available for subsequent deposition of a conductive metal to provide electrical connection to the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: A technique for post-processing a conventionally completed semiconductor device having a final passivation layer and bond pads exposed through the final passivation layer. The technique includes forming a protective film over the final passivation layer and exposed bond pads of the semiconductor device, and thereafter performing post-processing of the completed semiconductor device. Post-process structures, such as charge-coupled devices, can be formed above the protective film during this post-processing. Subsequent to the post-processing, the protective film is selectively etched to again expose the bond pads.
