    摘要: A method of forming an interconnect structure and an integrated circuit including the interconnect structure. The method includes: depositing a dielectric layer over a conductive layer; forming an opening in the dielectric layer to expose the conductive layer; forming a barrierless single-phase interconnect comprising a metal or compound having a melting point between a melting point of copper and a melting point of tungsten. Forming includes depositing a layer of metal or compound within the opening and on an upper surface of the dielectric layer Preferably, the barrierless single-phase interconnect comprises cobalt or a cobalt containing compound. Thus, an interconnect structure, including a via and associated line, is made up of a single-phase metal or compound without the use of a different material between the interconnect and the underlying dielectric, thus improving electrical performance and reliability and further simplifying the interconnect formation process.

    摘要: A metal oxide sensor is provided on a semiconductor substrate to provide on-chip sensing of gases. The sensor may include a metal layer that may have pores formed by lithography to be of a certain width. The top metal layer may be oxidized resulting in a narrowing of the pores. Another metal layer may be formed over the oxidized layer and electrical contacts may be formed on the metal layer. The contacts may be coupled to a monitoring system that receives electrical signals indicative of gases sensed by the metal oxide sensor.
