    Abstract: An integrated circuit with increased electromigration lifetime and allowable current density and methods of forming same are disclosed. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a conductive line connected to at least one functional via, and at least one dummy via having a first, lower end electrically connected to the conductive line and a second upper end electrically unconnected (isolated) to any conductive line. Each dummy via extends vertically upwardly from the conductive line and removes a portion of a fast diffusion path, i.e., metal to dielectric cap interface, which is replaced with a metal to metallic liner interface. As a result, each dummy via reduces metal diffusion rates and thus increases electromigration lifetimes and allows increased current density.

    Abstract: A method and structure for a composite stud contact interface with a decreased contact resistance and improved reliability. A selective dry etch is used which comprises a fluorine containing gas. The contact resistance is reduced by partially dry-etching back the tungsten contact after or during the M1 RIE process. The recessed contact is then subsequently metalized during the M1 liner/plating process. The tungsten contact height is reduced after it has been fully formed.

    Abstract: Methods of forming different back-end-of-line (BEOL) wiring for different circuits on the same semiconductor product, i.e., wafer or chip, are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes simultaneously generating BEOL wiring over a first circuit using a dual damascene structure in a first dielectric layer, and BEOL wiring over a second circuit using a single damascene via structure in the first dielectric layer. Then, simultaneously generating BEOL wiring over the first circuit using a dual damascene structure in a second dielectric layer, and BEOL wiring over the second circuit using a single damascene line wire structure in the second dielectric layer. The single damascene via structure has a width approximately twice that of a via portion of the dual damascene structures and the single damascene line wire structure has a width approximately twice that of a line wire portion of the dual damascene structures. A semiconductor product having different width BEOL wiring for different circuits is also disclosed.
