    摘要： A device, system and method for evaluating reliability of a semiconductor chip are disclosed. Strain is determined at a location of interest in a structure. Failures are evaluated in a plurality of the structures after stress cycling to determine a strain threshold with respect to a feature characteristic. Structures on a chip or chips are evaluated based on the feature characteristic to predict reliability based on the strain threshold and the feature characteristic. Predictions and design changes may be made based on the results.

    摘要： A multilevel semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) structure including a first interconnect level including a layer of dielectric material over a semiconductor substrate, the layer of dielectric material comprising a dense material for passivating semiconductor devices and local interconnects underneath; multiple interconnect layers of dielectric material formed above the layer of dense dielectric material, each layer of dielectric material including at least a layer of low-k dielectric material; and, a set of stacked via-studs in the low-k dielectric material layers, each of said set of stacked via studs interconnecting one or more patterned conductive structures, a conductive structure including a cantilever formed in the low-k dielectric material. The dielectric layer of each of the multiple interconnection levels includes a soft low-k dielectric material, wherein the cantilever and set of stacked via-studs are integrated within the soft low-k dielectric material to increase resistance to thermal fatigue crack formation. In one embodiment, each of the set of stacked via-studs in the low-k dielectric material layers is provided with a cantilever, such that the cantilevers are interwoven by connecting a cantilever on one level to a bulk portion of the conductor line on adjacent levels of interconnection, thereby increasing flexibility of stacked via-studs between interconnection levels.

    摘要： Stacked via pillars, such as metal via pillars, are provided at different and designated locations in IC chips to support the chip structure during processing and any related processing stresses such as thermal and mechanical stresses. These stacked via pillars connect and extend from a base substrate of the strip to a top oxide cap of the chip. The primary purpose of the stacked via pillars is to hold the chip structure together to accommodate any radial deformations and also to relieve any stress, thermal and/or mechanical, build-tip during processing or reliability testing. The stacked via pillars are generally not electrically connected to any active lines or vias, however in some embodiments the stacked via pillars can provide an additional function of providing an electrical connection in the chip.

    摘要： Methods of forming and the integrated circuit device structure formed having vertical interfaces adjacent an existing crack stop around a perimeter of a chip, whereby the vertical interface controls cracks generated during side processing of the device such as dicing, and in service from penetrating the crack stop. The vertical interface is comprised of a material that prevents cracks from damaging the crack stop by deflecting cracks away from penetrating the crack stop, or by absorbing the generated crack energies. Alternatively, the vertical interface may be a material that allows advancing cracks to lose enough energy such that they become incapable of penetrating the crack stop. The present vertical interfaces can be implemented in a number of ways such as, vertical spacers of release material, vertical trenches of release material or vertical channels of the release material.
