    摘要: A method of forming an aligned dual damascene opening, comprising including the following sequential steps. A layer stack is formed over the metal structure. The layer stack comprises, in ascending order: a bottom etch stop layer; a lower dielectric material layer; a middle etch stop layer; a middle dielectric material layer; and an upper dielectric layer. A patterned mask layer is formed over the patterned upper dielectric layer leaving exposed opposing portions of the patterned upper dielectric layer. The middle dielectric material layer is patterned to form an opening therein using the patterned mask layer and the exposed portions of the upper dielectric layer as masks. Simultaneously patterning the patterned middle dielectric material layer using the patterned upper dielectric layer as a mask to form an inchoate upper trench opening; and the lower dielectric material layer using the patterned mask layer and the patterned middle etch stop layer as masks to form an inchoate lower via opening aligned with the inchoate upper trench opening.

    摘要: An integrated circuit manufacturing method includes providing a base, forming a first conductor, forming a first barrier layer, forming a first dielectric layer, and forming a masking layer. The method further including forming a first via opening in the masking layer, forming a first trench opening in the masking layer, and simultaneously forming a second via opening in a layer under the masking layer, and forming a second trench opening through the masking layer and in the layer under the masking layer and simultaneously forming a third via opening in another layer under the masking layer. The method further including removing the first barrier layer using the third via opening and the masking layer to form a trench and a via, and filling the trench and the via with a conductor to form a trench and via conductor in contact with the first conductor.

    摘要: The subject matter disclosed herein relates to structures formed on semiconductor chips that are used for at least partially addressing the thermally induced stresses and metallization system cracking problems in a semiconductor chip that may be caused by the presence of through-silicon vias (TSV's), and which may be due primarily to the significant differences in thermal expansion between the materials of the TSV's and the semiconductor-based materials that generally make up the remainder of the semiconductor chip. One device disclosed herein includes a substrate and a crack-arresting structure positioned above the substrate, the crack-arresting structure comprising a plurality of crack-arresting elements and having a perimeter when viewed from above. The device also includes a conductive structure positioned at least partially within the perimeter of the crack-arresting structure, and a conductive element extending through an opening in the crack-arresting structure, wherein the conductive element is conductively coupled to the conductive structure.
