    Abstract: A method for forming an interconnect wiring structure, such as a fuse structure, comprises forming an opening in an insulating layer using a phase shift mask (the opening having vertical sidewalls sloped sidewalls and horizontal surfaces), depositing a conductive material in the opening and removing the conductive material from the sloped sidewalls and horizontal surfaces, wherein the conductive material remains on the vertical sidewalls as fuse links.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the control of thickness of an insulator layer on a fuse structure, by a method wherein a dielectric structure is positioned on a conduction level, and electric connection is performed at a selected position of the conduction level through the dielectric structure. SOLUTION: On a semiconductor substrate 10 an electric conduction level 1 is formed by using conductive material selected out of aluminum, copper, aluminum copper alloy, and doped polysilicon having metal type conductivity. A dielectric etching stop material layer 2 is stuck on the upper surface of the electric conduction level 1. Electric connection is performed to a selected position of the electric conduction level 1 through the dielectric etching stop material layer 2, and a conductive fuse 21 is constituted. As a result control of the thickness of an insulator layer on the fuse structure containing a self-aligned isolation cap can be improved.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To check cracks within a final passivation laver 13 of an integrated circuit by reducing the stresses within a peripheral dielectric which are due to acute corner of a circuit pattern.
    SOLUTION: Stresses generally induced inside a dielectric is reduced by formings 15 and 17, at lower corner 14" of a circuit pattern 11 before adhering an outer layer (that is, a passivation layer) 13. When patterning it by metallic RIE process, this kind of rounding of the corner is achieved by a two-step metallic etching process, including the first step of creating a vertical sidewall and the second step of tapering the lower part of the vertical sidewall or creating a tapered spacer 15 along the under section of the vertical sidewall. When patterning it by a die machine process, this kind of rounding of the corner is achieved by a two-step trench etching process, including a first step of creating a vertical sidewall and a second step of creating a tapered side wall along the under section of the vertical sidewall.
