    摘要: A vertical-current-flow resistive element includes a monolithic region having a first portion and a second portion arranged on top of one another and formed from a single material. The first portion has a first resistivity, and the second portion has a second resistivity, lower than the first resistivity. To this aim, a monolithic region with a uniform resistivity and a height greater than at least one of the other dimensions is first formed; then the resistivity of the first portion is increased by introducing, from the top, species that form a prevalently covalent bond with the conductive material of the monolithic region, so that the concentration of said species becomes higher in the first portion than in the second portion. Preferably, the conductive material is a binary or ternary alloy, chosen from among TiAl, TiSi, TiSi2, Ta, WSi, and the increase in resistivity is obtained by nitridation.

    摘要: A method for measuring the degree of planarity in an integrated circuit includes depositing, onto a dielectric layer to be measured for planarity, a predetermined measure path of a conductive film and measuring the electric resistance of said measure path. The resistance of such a measure path is minimal where the surface on which it has been deposited is perfectly planar, and increases with the surface deviation from perfect planarity. An integrated circuit containing a measurement portion of conductive film and a reference portion of conductive film is described.

    摘要: A planarization method is disclosed to provide improved protection against cracking of the final passivation layer of integrated circuit devices. In one embodiment, such method includes final passivation of an integrated circuit device including at least one integrated circuit chip. Such final passivation includes the step of forming a layer of protective material over a top surface of the integrated circuit chip, and a subsequent step of planarizing such layer of protective material to obtain a protection layer having a substantially flat top surface.
