    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a diffusion-barrier cap on a Cu-containing interconnect element that has crystallites of at least two different crystalorientations, comprisesselectively incorporating Si into only a first set of crystallites withat least one first crystalorientation, employing first process conditions, and subsequently selectively forming a first adhesion-layer portion comprising CuSi and a first diffusion-barrier-layer portion only on the first set of crystallites, thus forming a first barrier- cap portion, and subsequently selectively incorporating Si into only the second set of crystallites, employing second process conditions that differ from the first process conditions, and forming a second barrier-cap portion comprising a Si-containing second diffusion-barrier layer portion on the second set of crystallites of the interconnect element. The processing improves the properties of the diffusion-barrier cap and secures a continuous formation of a diffusion-barrier layer on the interconnect element.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a test structure that comprises at least two devices under test DUT, which respectively have a first electrical device resistance in a non- defect state and a second electrical device resistance in defect state, the first being higher than the second electrical device resistance. In the test structure the DUTs are connected in parallel to a first test contact pad via a first conducting line and connected in parallel to a second test contact pad via a second conducting line, and respectively connected to the first conducting line via respective first test resistors, which have known respective electrical test resistances, such that a total electrical resistance between the first an second test contact pads is indicative of the number of DUTs, which have the second electrical device resistance. The test structure allows testing a larger number of DUTs in parallel in a single measurement.

    Abstract: A method for transferring a predetermined pattern onto a flat support performed by direct writing by means of a particle beam comprises at least: deposition of a photoresist layer on a free surface of the support, application of the beam on exposed areas of the photoresist layer, performing correction by modulation of exposure doses received by each exposed area, developing of the photoresist layer so as to form said pattern. Correction further comprises determination of a substitution pattern (11) comprising at least one subresolution feature and use of the substitution pattern (11) for determining the areas to be exposed when the electron beam is applied. In addition, modulation takes account of the density of the substitution pattern (11) near to each exposed area.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a CMOS circuit device on a SOI substrate with an oriented silicon surface, comprising on a first substrate region a FET that has a FET channel region of a first conductivity type, and comprising on a second substrate region a FinFET that has a FinFET channel region of a second conductivity type which is opposite to the first conductivity type. The invention also relates to a method for fabricating such a CMOS circuit device. The fabrication of the multi-gate planar FET comprises, at an intermediate step, forming a FET channel stack with an alternating sequence of layers of a FET material and of a sacrificial material and containing main FET -channel faces, which have the same orientation as the oriented silicon surface. According to the invention, a co-integration of multi-gate FET devices is achieved that ensures high carrier mobilities for both NMOS and PMOS FETs.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method including the following steps: a) forming a waveguide from a first material, the waveguide being configured to guide an optical signal; b) forming a layer made of a second material that is electrically conductive and transparent to a wavelength of the optical signal, steps a) and b) being implemented such that the layer made of the second material is in contact with at least one of the faces of the waveguide, or is separated from the at least one of the faces by a distance of less than half, preferably less than a quarter, of the wavelength of the optical signal. The application further relates to a phase modulator, in particular obtained by such a method.
