Abstract:
Described are concepts, systems, circuits and techniques related to shielded through via structures and methods for fabricating such shielded through via structures. The described shielded through via structures and techniques allow for assembly of multi-layer semiconductor structures including one or more superconducting semiconductor structures (or integrated circuits).
Abstract:
A multi-layer semiconductor structure includes a first semiconductor structure and a second semiconductor structure, with at least one of the first and second semiconductor structures provided as a superconducting semiconductor structure. The multi-layer semiconductor structure also includes one or more interconnect structures. Each of the interconnect structures is disposed between the first and second semiconductor structures and coupled to respective ones of interconnect pads provided on the first and second semiconductor structures. Additionally, each of the interconnect structures includes a plurality of interconnect sections. At least one of the interconnect sections includes at least one superconducting and/or a partially superconducting material.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating an interconnect structure includes providing a semiconductor structure and performing a first spin resist and bake cycle. The first spin resist and bake cycle includes applying a first predetermined amount of a resist material over one or more portions of the semiconductor structure and baking the semiconductor structure to form a first resist layer portion of a resist layer. The method also includes performing a next spin resist and bake cycle. The next spin resist and bake cycle includes applying a next predetermined amount of the resist material and baking the semiconductor structure to form a next resist layer portion of the resist layer. The method additionally includes depositing a conductive material in an opening formed in the resist layer and forming a conductive structure from the conductive material. An interconnect structure is also provided.
