Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a semiconductor structure that includes a semiconductor substrate. A first interconnect layer is disposed over the semiconductor substrate. The first interconnect layer includes a first dielectric material having a conductive body embedded therein. The conductive body includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a bottom surface. A spacer element has a sidewall which contacts the first sidewall of the conductive body and which contacts the bottom surface of the conductive body. A second interconnect layer overlies the first interconnect layer and includes a second dielectric material with at least one via therein. The at least one via is filled with a conductive material which is electrically coupled to the conductive body of the first interconnect layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a semiconductor structure and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure in which a spacer element is formed adjacent to a metal body embedded in a first dielectric layer of a first interconnect layer. A via which is misaligned relative to an edge of the metal body is formed in a second dielectric material in second interconnect layer disposed over the first interconnect layer and filled with a conductive material which is electrically coupled to the metal body. The method allows for formation of an interconnect structure without encountering the various problems presented by via substructure defects in the dielectric material of the first interconnect layer, as well as eliminating conventional gap-fill metallization issues.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a dielectric layer, a memory device, and a resistor. The memory device includes a bottom electrode via, a bottom electrode, a resistance switching element, and a top electrode. The bottom electrode via is in the dielectric layer. The dielectric layer has a first portion extending along sidewalls of the bottom electrode via, a second portion extending laterally from the first portion, and a third portion. The bottom electrode is over the bottom electrode via. The resistance switching element is over the bottom electrode. The top electrode is over the resistance switching element. The resistor is over the third portion of the dielectric layer. A thickness of the third portion of the dielectric layer is greater than a thickness of the second portion of the dielectric layer.

Abstract: A method of forming integrated circuits includes forming Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) stack layers, depositing a conductive etch stop layer over the MTJ stack layers, depositing a conductive hard mask over the conductive etch stop layer, and patterning the conductive hard mask to form etching masks. The patterning is stopped by the conductive etch stop layer. The method further includes etching the conducive etch stop layer using the etching masks to define patterns, and etching the MTJ stack layers to form MTJ stacks.

Abstract: A via opening including an etch stop layer (ESL) opening and methods of forming the same are provided which can be used in the back end of line (BEOL) process of IC fabrication. A metal feature is provided with a first part within a dielectric layer and with a top surface. An ESL is formed with a bottom surface of the ESL above and in contact with the dielectric layer, and a top surface of the ESL above the bottom surface of the ESL. An opening at the ESL is formed exposing the top surface of the metal feature; wherein the opening at the ESL has a bottom edge of the opening above the bottom surface of the ESL, a first sidewall of the opening at a first side of the metal feature, and a second sidewall of the opening at a second side of the metal feature.
