A phase change memory and a method of manufacture are provided. The phase change memory includes a layer of phase change material treated to increase the hydrophobic nature of the phase change material. The hydrophobic nature of the phase change material improves adhesion between the phase change material and an overlying mask layer. The phase change material may be treated, for example, with a plasma comprising N2, NH3, Ar, He, O2, H2, or the like.

Methods of forming dual-damascene metal wiring patterns include forming a first metal wiring pattern (e.g., copper wiring pattern) on an integrated circuit substrate and forming an etch-stop layer on the first metal wiring pattern. These steps are followed by the steps of forming an electrically insulating layer on the etch-stop layer and forming an inter-metal dielectric layer on the electrically insulating layer. The inter-metal dielectric layer and the electrically insulating layer are selectively etched in sequence to define an opening therein that exposes a first portion of the etch-stop layer. This opening may include a trench and a via hole extending downward from a bottom of the trench. A first barrier metal layer is formed on a sidewall of the opening and directly on the first portion of the etch-stop layer. A portion of the first barrier metal layer is selectively removed from the first portion of the etch-stop layer. The first portion of the etch-stop layer is then selectively etched for a sufficient duration to expose a portion of the first metal wiring pattern. A second metal wiring pattern is formed in the opening in order to complete a dual-damascene structure.

Techniques for reducing the mechanical stress imposed upon semiconductor dice by protective molding compounds during times of temperature fluctuation. A thermoplastic material is attached to a top surface of a die to relieve the stress. The thermoplastic material serves as a cushion between the die and the molding compound when the components expand and contract. The thermoplastic material can be shaped such that it does not cover bond pads on the surface of a die.

An integrated circuit memory device includes a semiconductor substrate having a memory cell area and a select transistor area. A first field insulation layer is included in the memory cell area, and a first channel stop impurity layer is included beneath the first field insulation layer. The first channel stop impurity layer is narrower than the first field insulation area. A second field insulation layer is included in the select transistor area, and a second channel stop impurity layer is included beneath the second field insulation layer. The second channel stop impurity layer is wider than the second field insulation layer. Integrated circuit memory devices are fabricated by defining a memory cell area and a select transistor area of a semiconductor substrate. The memory cell area includes a memory cell active area and a memory cell field area. The select transistor area includes a select transistor active area and a select transistor field area. First channel stop impurity ions are implanted into the select transistor field area. A first field insulation layer is formed in the memory cell field area, and a second field insulation layer is formed in the select transistor field area, such that the first channel stop impurity ions lie beneath the second field insulation area. Second channel stop impurity ions are implanted through the central portion of the first field insulation area, such that the second channel stop impurity ions lie beneath the central portion of the first field insulation layer.

A semiconductor device (10) is formed from a single leadframe (11) by aligning two electronic components (22,24) relative to each other. The leadframe (11) has two bonding regions (30,31), which are offset from each other, and interconnect bars (13) which are used to align the two bonding regions (30,31). After the electronic components (22,24) are mounted to their respective bonding regions (30,31), the interconnect bars (13) are bent downward or upward relative to the plane formed by the leadframe (11). The bending of the interconnect bars (13) will move the two electronic components (22,24) towards each other in the direction essentially parallel to the plane of the leadframe (11). A transparent mold (28) is then formed to encapsulate the electronic components (22,24). A body (29) is then formed around the transparent mold (28) and leads (19,20). A trim and form operation releases the semiconductor device (10) from the leadframe (11).
