Abstract:
A method of forming low resistivity conductive lines on a semiconductor substrate is disclosed. In practicing the method a multichamber tool is used to advantage by forming a first doped polysilicon layer (14) on the surface of a substrate (12), forming a second undoped layer (16) on the doped layer (14), while maintaining the work piece under a vacuum environment, moving the substrate to a second chamber and thereafter forming a silicide containing layer (17) on the undoped polysilicon layer (16). Various techniques may be used to deposit either the polysilicon or the silicide layer such as sputtering may also be used.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device having wiring levels on opposite sides and a method of fabricating a semiconductor structure having contacts to devices and wiring levels on opposite sides. The method including fabricating a device on a silicon-on-insulator substrate with first contacts to the devices and wiring levels on a first side to the first contacts, removing a lower silicon layer to expose the buried oxide layer, forming second contacts to the devices through the buried oxide layer and forming wiring levels over the buried oxide layer to the second contacts.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for fabricating a horn antenna device within an integrated circuit chip. SOLUTION: The horn antenna device 100 includes a metallic horn structure 10 with a wide aperture, that is, a horizontal waveguide. The horizontal waveguide has a tapered via that electromagnetically communicates with a vertical waveguide structure 60 to transmit energy to and from an electronic sub-component 40 configuring part of IC chips 5. Dual damascene processing is used to fabricate the horn antenna device within the IC chip.
Abstract:
A semiconductor structure and method of fabricating the structure. The method includes removing the backside silicon (110A and 110B) from two silicon-on- insulator wafers (110A and 100B), respectively, having devices (130A and 130B), respectively, fabricated therein and bonding them back to back utilizing the buried oxide layers (115). Contacts (210) are then formed in the upper wafer (I00B) to devices (130A) in the lower wafer (100A) and wiring levels (170) are formed on the upper wafer (100B). The lower wafer (100A) may include wiring levels (170). The lower wafer (100A) may include landing pads (230) for the contacts. Contacts to the silicon layer (120) of the lower wafer (100A) may be silicided.
