    Abstract: An interconnect structure for an integrated circuit (IC) device includes an elongated, electrically conductive line comprising one or more segments formed at a first width, w1, and one or more segments formed at one or more additional widths, w2 . . . wN, with the first width being narrower than each of the one or more additional widths; wherein the relationship of the total length, L1, of the one or more conductive segments formed at the first width to the total lengths, L2 . . . LN, of the one or more conductive segments formed at the one or more additional widths is selected such that, for a given magnitude of current carried by the conductive line, a critical length with respect to an electromigration short-length effect benefit is maintained such that a total length of the conductive line, L=L1+L2+ . . . +LN, meets a minimum desired design length regardless of the critical length.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interconnected structure of copper alloys having improved electromigration resistance force, adhesion and other surface characteristics. SOLUTION: Copper conductor bodies 56 and 60 and a copper alloy or metal seed layer 76 disposed between the copper conductor bodies and an electronic device are utilized to provide a novel interconnected structure for establishing electrical communication with the electronic device. In order to improve the electromigration resistance force, an adhesion property to a barrier layer, device surface characteristics or an adhesion process, copper-based seed layers of various decompositions or a specific metal seed layer can be used according to each purpose.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high concn. impurity content and a resistance to the crystal grain growth by keeping a substrate in a plating soln. after electrodepositing a Cu-contg. film on a seed layer of the substrate dipped in the plating soln., electrodepositing a Cu-contg. film, and removing and drying the substrate from the plating soln. SOLUTION: A first electrodeposited metal film layer 22 is formed on an exposed region of the top of a metal seed layer 6, an impurity film 26 is laminated on a fine structure contg. a rough surface 24' of the metal film layer 22, this film 26 has a top surface and is composed of a heavy dopant from an electroplating soln., an electrodeposited metal film layer 30 is formed on the impurity film 26. This film 26 gives a heavily doped region which is integrated with a rough surface 24' to give a nature of suppressing the crystal grain growth and the electromigration resistance to composite metal conductive wires 39. Thus it is possible to obtain a superior electric, thermodynamic and metallurgical nature.

    Abstract: A graphene and metal interconnect structure and methods of making the same. A multiple layer graphene structure may be grown using a graphene catalyst. The graphene forms an electrical connection 30 between two or more vias (16,36) or components 20, or a combination of vias and components. A via includes a fill metal, with at least a portion of the fill metal 36 being surrounded by a barrier metal 38. A component may be a routing track, a clock signal source, a power source, an electromagnetic signal source, a ground terminal, a transistor, a macrocell, or a combination thereof. The graphene is grown, using a graphene catalyst, from both solid and liquid carbon sources using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at a temperature between 300°C - 400°C. The graphene catalyst can be an elemental form of, or alloy including, nickel, palladium, ruthenium, iridium or copper.
