摘要:
Methods, techniques, and structures relating to die packaging. In one exemplary implementation, a die package interconnect structure includes a semiconductor substrate and a first conducting layer in contact with the semiconductor substrate. The first conducting layer may include a base layer metal. The base layer metal may include Cu. The exemplary implementation may also include a diffusion barrier in contact with the first conducting layer and a wetting layer on top of the diffusion barrier. A bump layer may reside on top of the wetting layer, in which the bump layer may include Sn, and Sn may be electroplated. The diffusion barrier may be electroless and may be adapted to prevent Cu and Sn from diffusing through the diffusion barrier. Furthermore, the diffusion barrier may be further adapted to suppress a whisker-type formation in the bump layer.

Embodiments of methods in accordance with the present invention provide three-dimensional carbon nanotube (CNT) integrated circuits comprising layers of arrays of CNT's separated by dielectric layers with conductive traces formed within the dielectric layers to electrically interconnect individual CNT's. The methods to fabricate three-dimensional carbon nanotube FET integrated circuits include the selective deposition of carbon nanotubes onto catalysts selectively formed on a conductive layer at the bottom of openings in a dielectric layer. The openings in the dielectric layer are formed using suitable techniques, such as, but not limited to, dielectric etching, and the formation of ring gate electrodes, including spacers, that provide openings for depositing self-aligned carbon nanotube semiconductor channels.

A nano-electrode or nano-wire may be etched centrally to form a gap between nano-electrode portions. The portions may ultimately constitute a single electron transistor. The source and drain formed from the electrode portions are self-aligned with one another. Using spacer technology, the gap between the electrodes may be made very small.

A damascene process using a doped and undoped oxide ILD is described. The selectivity between the carbon doped and carbon free oxide provides an etching stop between the ILD's in addition to providing mechanical strength to the structure.
