Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for forming a low dielectric barrier with a superior diffusion characteristic for copper and adhesion, on a copper conductor. SOLUTION: A method comprises; 1) preparing a substrate having a copper conductor, 2) putting a metal alloy film including phosphor or boron as a protective layer, on the copper conductor, 3) carrying out the first annealing process to diffuse a metal alloy including phosphor or boron into 2-4 atom layers at least, on the top of the copper conductor, then 4) putting a dielectric film with low dielectric constant on the metal alloy film including phosphor or boron, and 5) carrying out the second annealing process. The obtained structure has a double layer barrier which includes the metal alloy film including phosphor or boron on the copper conductor and the dielectric material film on the metal alloy film, and shows superior barrier and adhesive characteristics for the copper conductor.

Abstract:
BU9-90-013 PROCESS FOR FORMING MULTI-LEVEL COPLANAR CONDUCTOR/INSULATOR FILM EMPLOYING, PHOTOSENSITIVE POLYIMIDE POLYMER COMPOSITIONS of to Disclosure Disclosed is a process for producing multi-level conductor/insulator films on a processed semiconductor substrate having a conductor pattern. The insulator layers, each comprise a photosensitive polyimide polymer composition, and this allows the desired wiring channels and stud vias to be formed directly in the insulator layers, without the use of separate masking layers and resulting image transfer steps, thus providing a less cumbersome and costly process.
Abstract:
A sputtering deposition wherein high aspect ratio apertures are coated with conductive films exhibiting low bulk resistivity, low impurity concentrations, and regular morphologies. A collimator is used having an aspect ratio that approximates the aspect ratio of the apertures. The resulting film thickness at the bottom of the aperture is at least 2X what can be achieved using conventional sputtering methods.

Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to a new interconnection and a method for making the same, and more particularly, to an elongated solder interconnection and a method for making the same. On an electronic carrier, a pad is formed on which a solder mass is deposited and capped with a metal layer, thereby forming an elongated solder interconnection. A further elongated solder interconnection can now be formed by forming a second solder mass on the first solder mass that has been capped by a metal layer. Additional elongated solder interconnection can be formed by capping the preceding solder mass and/or the last solder mass with a metal capping layer. Alternatively, the encapsulating layer can be in the form of a sidewall spacer formed on the sidewalls of the solder mass.

On an electronic carrier (12) a pad (14) is formed on which a solder mass (16) is deposited and capped with a metal layer (19), thereby forming an elongated solder interconnection.
