摘要:
An IC chip/substrate assembly bonded together by a non-conductive adhesive and a method for forming the assembly. The assembly consists of an IC chip that has bumps formed on an active surface, a substrate that has bond pads formed on a top surface, wherein at least one of the IC chip and the substrate has dummy bumps formed in-between the bumps or the bond pads, and a non-conductive adhesive disposed in between and bonding the IC chip and the substrate together in a face-to-face relationship with the bumps in electrical communication with the bond pads.
摘要:
A damascene wire and method of forming the wire. The method including: forming a mask layer on a top surface of a dielectric layer; forming an opening in the mask layer; forming a trench in the dielectric layer where the dielectric layer is not protected by the mask layer; recessing the sidewalls of the trench under the mask layer; forming a conformal conductive liner on all exposed surface of the trench and the mask layer; filling the trench with a core electrical conductor; removing portions of the conductive liner extending above the top surface of the dielectric layer and removing the mask layer; and forming a conductive cap on a top surface of the core conductor. The structure includes a core conductor clad in a conductive liner and a conductive capping layer in contact with the top surface of the core conductor that is not covered by the conductive liner.
摘要:
A method of patterning a porous dielectric material that includes an ash process to treat the porous dielectric material. The treated porous dielectric material allows for the formation of a substantially continuous barrier layer, which can inhibit diffusion of, for example, a conductive material into to the dielectric material. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
In one embodiment, adjacent conductive patterns are formed overlying a semiconductor substrate. The conductive patterns each have a conductive line and a capping layer. A first spacer formation layer is formed between the adjacent conductive patterns. The first spacer formation layer is formed between the top surface of the capping layer and the bottom surface of the conductive line. A conformal second spacer formation layer is formed on the conductive patterns. A first interlayer insulating layer is formed on the conformal second spacer formation layer. Next, an opening is formed to extend to a portion of the first spacer formation layer, in the first interlayer insulating layer. The portion of the first spacer formation layer is etched, using the second spacer formation layer as an etch mask, to form a single-layer spacer on sidewalls of the conductive patterns, concurrently with a contact hole.
