    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a thermo-mechanically reliable copper TSV and a technique to form such TSV during BEOL processing. The TSV constitutes an annular trench which extends through the semiconductor substrate. The substrate defines the inner and outer sidewalls of the trench, which sidewalls are separated by a distance within the range of 5 to 10 microns. A conductive path comprising copper or a copper alloy extends within said trench from an upper surface of said first dielectric layer through said substrate. The substrate thickness can be 60 microns or less. A dielectric layer having interconnect metallization conductively connected to the conductive path is formed directly over said annular trench.

    Abstract: A method of testing a semiconductor substrate having through substrate vias for current leakage which includes: forming a current leakage measurement structure that includes substrate contacts, sensing circuits to sense current leakage from the through substrate vias, the sensing circuits connected to the through substrate vias and to the substrate contacts so that there is a one-to-one correspondence of a substrate contact and sensing circuit to each through substrate via, and a built-in self test (BIST) engine to sense one of the through substrate vias for current leakage. A reference current is applied to the sensing circuits to set a current leakage threshold for the through substrate vias. A through substrate via is selected for sensing for current leakage. The sensing circuit senses the selected through substrate via to determine whether there is current leakage from the selected through substrate via.

    Abstract: Es wird eine Halbleitereinheit offenbart, wobei eine Isolierungsschicht einen Kupferanschluss in Kontakt mit der letzten Verdrahtungsschicht der Einheit aufweist. Es kann auch eine Barriereschicht vorhanden sein, die den Kupferanschluss von der Isolierungsschicht trennt. Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann auch eine Aluminiumschicht zwischen der Isolierungsschicht und dem Kupferanschluss vorhanden sein. Ferner wird ein Verfahren zum Herstellen der Halbleitereinheit offenbart.
