    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shielded interconnection for reducing capacitive coupling between interconnecting lines in an integrated circuit device having interconnecting lines isolated by an interlayer dielectric. SOLUTION: Interconnecting lines are provided with a thin side wall conductive shield isolated from interconnecting lines by a thin side wall dielectric. Crosstalk between adjacent lines in an interconnection layer is reduced by a side wall shield. The thin side wall dielectric material can be selected to reduce capacitance between the side wall shield and the interconnecting lines. An interlayer dielectric can be selected to enhance defect resistance and mechanical strength during fabrication of a device. A method for fabricating shielded interconnections is also provided.

    Abstract: A chip includes a CMOS structure having a bulk device (20) disposed in a first region (24) of a semiconductor substrate (50) in conductive communication with an underlying bulk region (18) of the substrate, the first region (24) and the bulk region (20) having a first crystal orientation. A SOI device (10) is disposed in a semiconductor-on-insulator ("SOI") layer (14) separated from the bulk region of the substrate by a buried dielectric layer (16), the SOI layer having a different crystal orientation from the first crystal orientation. In one example, the bulk device includes a p-type field effect transistor ("PFET") and the SOI device includes an n-type field effect transistor ("NFET") device. Alternatively, the bulk device can include an NFET and the SOI device can include a PFET. When the SOI device has a gate conductor (11) in conductive communication with a gate conductor (21) of the bulk device, charging damage can occur to the SOI device, except for the presence of diodes in reverse-biased conductive communication with the bulk region. The diodes are operable to conduct a discharge current to the bulk region when either a voltage on the gate conductor or a voltage on the source or drain region of the SOI device exceeds a diode's breakdown voltage.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new dual damascene wiring structure that improves the efficiency of dual damascene wiring by improving a dual damascene wiring formation method. SOLUTION: This method concerns the formation of a dual damascene interconnection structure and a related structure. In this formation, the related structure includes a dual damascene wiring in a dielectric substance layer. The above dual damascene wiring is extended into the dielectric substance layer at a distance shorter than the thickness of the corresponding dielectric substance layer, and a dual damascene via bar is integrated with the bottom of the dual damascene wiring and is extended toward the bottom of the dielectric substance later from that bottom.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a more reliable damascene capacitor structure by preventing the occurrence of leakage and dielectric breakdown between capacitor plates. SOLUTION: A capacitor device is provided with a trench which is formed into an inter-level dielectric insulator layer and has sidewalls, a first thin lower conductor plate 32 formed on the bottom of the trench, and a second upper conductor plate 44 having a surface which is commonly formed as the surface of the dielectric insulator layer also. The capacitor device is also provided with a dielectric layer 42 formed between the conductor plates 32 and 44. The dielectric layer 42 prevents one of the conductor plates 32 and 44 from extending to the sidewalls of the trench and at least one upper corner of the conductor plate from extending toward the upper part of the trench.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit structure forms a first opening in a substrate (100; Figure 1) and lines the first opening with a protective liner. (102) The method deposits a material into the first opening (104) and forms a protective material over the substrate. The protective material includes a process control mark and includes a second opening above, and aligned with, the first opening. (108) The method removes the material from the first opening through the second opening in the protective material. (110) The process control mark comprises a recess within the protective material that extends only partially through the protective material, such that portions of the substrate below the process control mark are not affected by the process of removing the material.

    Abstract: An image sensor (20) and method of fabrication wherein the sensor includes Copper (Cu) metallization levels (135a, 135b) allowing for incorporation of a thinner interlevel dielectric stack (130a-130c) to result in a pixel array (100) exhibiting increased light sensitivity. The image sensor includes structures having a minimum thickness of barrier layer metal (132a, 132b) that traverses the optical path of each pixel in the sensor array or, that have portions (50) of barrier layer metal selectively removed from the optical paths of each pixel, thereby minimizing reflectance. That is, by implementing various block or single mask methodologies, portions of the barrier layer metal are completely removed at locations of the optical path for each pixel in the array. In a further embodiment, the barrier metal layer (142) may be formed atop the Cu metallization by a self-aligned deposition.
