    Abstract: An array of through substrate vias (TSVs) (20) is formed through a semiconductor substrate (12) and a contact- via-level dielectric layer (50) thereupon. A metal-wire-level dielectric layer (60) and a line-level metal wiring structure (80) embedded therein are formed directly on the contact-via-level dielectric layer (50). The line-level metal wiring structure (80) includes cheesing holes that are filled with isolated portions of the metal-wire-level dielectric layer (60). In one embodiment, the entirety of the cheesing holes is located outside the area of the array of the TSVs (20) to maximize the contact area between the TSVs (20) and the line-level metal wiring structure (80). In another embodiment, a set of cheesing holes overlying an entirety of seams (18) in the array of TSVs (20) is formed to prevent trapping of any plating solution in the seams (19)of the TSVs (20) during plating to prevent corrosion of the TSVs (20)at the seams (19).

    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.
