摘要： A fusible link for a semiconductor device comprises an insulating substrate and a conductive line pair on the surface of the insulating substrate, with the conductive line pair having spaced ends. A polymer is disposed over the insulating substrate and between the conductive line pair ends. The polymer is capable of being changed from a non-conductive to a conductive state upon exposure to an energy beam. Preferably, the polymer comprises a polyimide, more preferably, a polymer/onium salt mixture, most preferably, a polyaniline polymer doped with a triphenylsufonium salt. The link may further comprise a low &kgr; nanopore/nanofoam dielectric material adjacent the conductive line ends.

摘要： Semiconductor chip structures are provided with embedded thermal conductors for removing heat from one or more electrically conductive circuit members thereof, wherein the circuit members are formed on one or more dielectric layers above a substrate, each layer having a low dielectric constant and a low thermal conductivity. One or more cooling posts, for example, multiple thermally conductive plugs, are selectively disposed within the semiconductor chip structure adjacent to one or more electrically conductive members and thermally coupled thereto so that heat produced by the members is transferred into and through the cooling posts for forwarding to the substrate and/or to an upper surface of the semiconductor chip structure. The backside of the substrate has a thermal sink thermally coupled thereto and electrically isolated from the substrate. The thermal sink includes one or more thermally conductive via structures embedded within the substrate and aligned to thermally contact to the cooling posts disposed above the substrate.

摘要： The present invention relates to an alignment mark structure for laser fusing. An alignment mark structure is formed which is comprised of image elements that are placed on different film layers in a semiconductor device. Alignment is accomplished by examining the difference in reflected energy of a laser beam as the beam traverses the alignment mark structure. By forming the alignment mark structure such that it has elements on different film layers, the reflected energy can be modulated to avoid the situation in which no difference in reflected energy is found, which would make the alignment mark invisible to the laser fusing tool. A method of applying the alignment mark structure is also disclosed.

摘要： The invention includes an error correcting logic system that allows critical circuits to be hardened with only one redundant unit and without loss of circuit performance. The system provides an interconnecting gate that suppresses a fault in one of at least two redundant dynamic logic gates that feed to the interconnecting gate. The system is applicable to dynamic or static logic systems. The system prevents propagation of a fault, and addresses not only soft errors, but noise-induced errors. Also, there is provided a design structure embodied in a machine readable medium used in a design process, and which includes such error correcting logic system.

摘要： Circuit for detecting error transients in logic circuits due to atomic events or other non-recurring noise sources includes a first circuit coupled to a data line for sensing a first signal on the data line at a first point in time (T1) and a second circuit coupled to the data line for sensing the first signal on the data line at a second point in time (T2) such that a time difference between T1 and T2 is small enough so that the first signal is still present on the data line in the absence of a perturbation event and such that the time difference between T1 and T2 is large enough so that any such perturbation event is resolved. A compare circuit coupled to the first and second circuits compares the sensing of the first signal by the first and second circuits, and generates an error signal in response to a non-compare.
