Abstract:
A passive transmission line element “device” monolithically integrated into an integrated circuit at one or more levels of the integrated circuit by using a damascene process to delineate a conductive line (30) such that at least the bottom surface and sidewalls of the conductive line are embedded in an enhancement layer (26) having high permeability and/or high permitivity. Optionally a second enhancement layer (34) may cover the conductive line, to completely embed or surround the conductive line with permeability and/or permitivity enhancement material. The passive transmission line device comprising the conductive line and the enhancement layer thus has enhanced distributed inductance and/or enhanced distributed capacitance. In addition, the passive transmission line device may optionally have enhanced distributed resistance as well by forming the conductive line from resistive “i.e., not highly conductive” material.

The semiconductor device comprises: insulating films 40, 42 formed over a substrate 10; an interconnection 58 buried in at least a surface side of the insulating films 40, 42; insulating films 60, 62 formed on the insulating film 42 and including a hole-shaped via-hole 60 and a groove-shaped via-hole 66a having a pattern bent at a right angle; and buried conductors 70, 72a buried in the hole-shaped via-hole 60 and the groove-shaped via-hole 66a, wherein the groove-shaped via-hole 66a is formed to have a width which is smaller than a width of the hole-shaped via-hole 66. Whereby, the defective filling of the buried conductor is prevented, and the cracking of the inter-layer insulating film can be prevented. Steps on the conductor plug can be reduced, so that the step cannot be influential on the upper interconnection layers and insulating layers. Accordingly, defective contact with the upper interconnection layer and the problems taking place in forming films can be prevented, and resultantly the semiconductor device can have high water resistance and high interconnection reliability.
