The getter material (29) is preferably an electrically nonconductive, high porosity, and low density material, such as an aerogel or xerogel. Methods of fabricating the getter material (29) on the anode plate (10) are disclosed.

    摘要: A semiconductor device and process for making the same are disclosed which use porous dielectric materials to reduce capacitance between conductors, while allowing conventional photolithography and metal techniques and materials to be used in fabrication. In one structure, patterned conductors 18 are provided on an interlayer dielectric 10, with a substrate encapsulation layer 31 deposited conformally over this structure. A layer of porous dielectric material 22 (e.g. dried SiO.sub.2 gel) is then deposited to substantially fill the gaps between and also cover the conductors. A substantially solid cap layer 14 of a material such as SiO.sub.2 is then deposited, followed by a photolithography step to define via locations. Vias are etched through the cap layer, and then through the porous dielectric. A via passivating layer 30 is conformally deposited and then anisotropically etched to clear the bottom of the vias while leaving a passivating liner in the via, preventing the via metal from directly contacting the porous material. A second application of these steps may be used to form a second, overlying structure of patterned conductors 38, encapsulating layer 36, porous dielectric layer 40, and cap layer 42.

    摘要: This invention provides a process for making a semiconductor device with reduced capacitance between adjacent conductors. This process can include applying and gelling one or more solutions between and over conductors 24 and drying the wet gel to create at least porous dielectric sublayers 28 and 29. By varying the composition of the solutions, gelling conditions, drying temperature, composition of the solvents in the wet gel, or a combination of these approaches, the porosity of the sublayers may be tailored individually. A non-porous dielectric layer 30 may be formed over porous layer 28, which may complete an interlayer dielectric. A novel process for creating the porous dielectric layer is disclosed, which can be completed at vacuum or ambient pressures, yet results in porosity, pore size, and shrinkage of the dielectric during drying comparable to that previously attainable only by drying gels at supercritical pressure.

The method may comprise providing a substrate comprising a microelectronic circuit and a porous silica layer, the porous silica layer having an average pore diameter between 2 and 80 nm; and heating the substrate to one or more temperatures between 100 and 490 degrees C. in a substantially halogen-free atmosphere, whereby one or more dielectric properties of the porous dielectric are improved. In some embodiments, the atmosphere comprises a phenyl-containing atmosphere, such as hexaphenyldisilazane. In some embodiments, the method further comprises cooling the substrate and exposing the substrate to a substantially halogen-free atmosphere comprising either a phenyl-containing compound, such as hexaphenyldisilazane; or a methyl-containing compound, such as hexamethyldisilazane. It has been found that a porous structure treated in such a manner generally exhibits improved dielectric properties relative to an untreated sample.

    摘要: A method for forming air gaps 22 between metal leads 16 of a semiconductor device. A metal layer is deposited on a substrate 12. The metal layer is etched to form metal leads 16, exposing portions of the substrate 12. A disposable liquid 18 is deposited on the metal leads 16 and the exposed portions of substrate 12, and a top portion of the disposable liquid 18 is removed to lower the disposable liquid 18 to at least the tops of the leads 16. A porous silica precursor film 20 is deposited on the disposable liquid 18 and over the tops of the leads 16. The porous silica precursor film 20 is gelled to form a low-porosity silica film 24. The disposable liquid 18 is removed through the low-porosity silica film 24 to form air gaps 22 between metal leads 16 beneath the low-porosity silica film 24. The air gaps 22 have a low dielectric constant and result in reduced capacitance between the metal leads and decreased power consumption.
