    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.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal capacitor installed on a chip. SOLUTION: Capacitors (60, 126) manufactured on a semiconductor chip have strap/contacts (41A, 119A), which mutually connect bottom plates (41B, 111A) of a capacitor to a chip circuit. In one version, an extension part of a material, constituting a bottom plate of a capacitor forms a strap contact. In the other version, a capacitor (185) comprises a folded bottom plate, which uses an available space and therefore increases its capacitance, a dielectric layer and a top plate. By means of a plurality of manufacturing methods, manufacturing of these capacitors of various versions can be incorporated in a standard dual or single-damascene manufacturing process, including a copper damascene process.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metallic capacitor which is provided inside a metal layer on a semiconductor chip. SOLUTION: A lower plate of a capacitor is provided between an insulation layer and a dielectric layer. An insulation layer is disposed adjacent to a metallization layer, and a dielectric layer separates a lower plate of a capacitor from the upper plate of the capacitor. The shoulder part of a lower plate is adjacent to it and brought into contact with a via filled with copper. Although a via extends upward to a common surface of the upper plate, it is electrically isolated from an upper plate. A via also extends downward toward a metallization layer. This structure is formed by a copper dual-damascene process.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a precision circuit element and a method of forming it. SOLUTION: The circuit element is formed as one part of an integrated circuit assembly. The process of the circuit element provides a nominal value of the circuit element that is near to a desired value. An additional trim circuit element is coupled through a link to the nominal circuit element. The Link is a fusible link or an anti fuse. By fusing and cutting the fusible link selectively or by adding or reducing the trim circuit element by fusing the anti fuse, the nominal value of the circuit element is individuated. In a typical example, a capacitor is used.
