Abstract: First and second trenches of differing depths are formed in a first insulating layer (12), a second insulating layer and polysilicon material then being formed. Part of the polysilicon is removed and an implantation barrier (40) is formed. Forming a multilayer semiconductor structure (50) comprises: (i) forming two trenches of different depths in the first insulating layer (12); (ii) forming the second insulating layer in the trenches; (iii) forming polysilicon material in the trenches so they are substantially filled; (iv) removing a portion of the polysilicon so the top surface (18) of the first insulating layer is not coplanar with a top surface of the polysilicon remaining in the trenches; (v) forming an implantation barrier (40) in the trenches; and (vi) processing the implantation barrier in the trenches so its top surface (42) is coplanar with the top surface of the first insulating layer. An independent claim is also included for: the multilayered semiconductor structure comprising the layers described on a substrate.

Abstract: The invention includes a process for copper metallization of an integrated circuit, comprising the steps of forming tantalum on a substrate, forming tantalum nitride over the tantalum, forming titanium nitride over the tantalum nitride, forming copper over the titanium nitride and integrated circuits made thereby. The invention is particularly useful in forming damascene structures with large aspect ratios.

Abstract: The present invention uses wire bonding technology to bond pads of interconnect materials 31 such as copper that oxidize easily using a wire made of Al, an Al alloy or an Al-coated gold wire 30. A passivation layer 32 of Ta is formed on the semiconductor substrate to encapsulate the bonding pad 31 made from the interconnect material such that the wire 30 bonds with the passivation layer itself, not with the interconnect material. The Ta layer 32 is metallurgically stable when bonded to the interconnect material and forms tantalum aluminide with the wire 30. Since the wire is stable compared with the interconnect material, i.e ., it does not readily corrode, a reliable mechanical and electrical connection is provided between the semiconductor device and the wire.

Abstract: The present invention uses wire bonding technology to bond interconnect materials that oxidize easily by using a wire with stable oxidation qualities. A passivation layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate to encapsulate the bonding pad made from the interconnect material such that the wire bonds with the passivation layer itself, not with the interconnect material. The passivation layer is selected to be a material that is metallurgically stable when bonded to the interconnect material. Since the wire is stable compared with the interconnect material, i.e., it does not readily corrode, a reliable mechanical and electrical connection is provided between the semiconductor device (interconnect material) and the wire, with the passivation layer disposed therebetween.

Abstract: A process for forming a dual damascene structure. The process includes forming a stack including insulating layers and a stop layer where two masks are formed above the stack. One of the masks is used to form via or contact openings in the insulating layers and the second mask is used to form grooves for interconnections in the insulating layers.

Abstract: The specification describes techniques for wire bonding gold wires (78) to copper metallization (44) in semiconductor integrated circuits. A barrier layer (73) is formed on the copper, and an aluminum bonding pad (77) is formed on the barrier layer. Gold wire is then thermocompression bonded to the aluminum pad.

Abstract: A dual damascene bond pad (27) resistant to stress effects within an integrated circuit is disclosed, allowing for the bond pad (27) to be formed over a substrate (1) containing active circuitry. The dual damascene structure is created by forming bond pad opening (20) and vias (19) in region (40), and depositing metal film (17) in the opening (20) and vias (19). The opening has barrier layer film (13) on bottom surface of opening (20) and vias (19) extending downwardly through barrier layer film (13) and lower dielectric film (11). A conductive layer (5) may be interposed between substrate region (1) and lower dielectric film (11). The reduction in stress of bond pad (27) results in the pad (27) being more resistant to cracking when an external wire (25) is attached to the pad (27), thus preventing leakage currents between the bond pad (27) and any underlying circuitry.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a dual damascene structure for an integrated circuit involves forming a first opening (135) in a stack of layers including a first layer (105), second layer (115) and an etch stop layer (110), and forming a second opening (125) smaller than the first opening (135). The second opening (125) is formed in a portion of the base of the first opening (135). Preferably the first opening (135) is formed before the second opening (125). The etch stop layer (110) may be a hardmask, and the first (105) and second (115) layers may be dielectrics. The two openings may be filled with conductive material (145) to create vias and interconnects for an integrated circuit. Patterned masks (120, 130) may be used to produce the dual damascene structure, where the mask used to create the second opening (130) is deposited over the mask used to create the first opening (120).
