Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing an air gap between conductor tracks that decreases in coupling capacity and is improved in mechanical or electrical characteristics as compared with conventional examples. SOLUTION: A conductor track array includes bases 1 and 2, at least two conductor tracks 4, a cavity 6, and a resist layer 5 covering the conductor tracks 4 to close the cavity 6. A carrier track TB having a width B2 narrower than the width B1 of the conductor tracks 4 is formed to form the air gap for reducing coupling capacity and signal delay by self-alignment technique below the conductor tracks 4 along side faces thereof.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conductive track array with reduced coupling capacity and improved mechanical and electrical properties, and its manufacturing method. SOLUTION: The conductive track array includes substrates 1 and 2, at least two conductive tracks 4, cavity 6, and a resist layer 5 that fills up the cavity 6 and covers the conductive track 4. An air gap to reduce the coupling capacity and signal delay by forming a carrier track TB with width of B2, which is smaller than the width B1 of the conductive track 4, is formed under the conductive track 4 along its side wall using a self-align technology.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the manufacturing method of constituents improved in the adhesion of a noble metal layer to an insulation layer. SOLUTION: The method for improving adhesion between the noble metal layer (28) and the insulation layer (34) is proposed. In this method, a silicon layer is provided between the noble metal layer (28) and the insulation layer (34). The silicon layer is salicided and oxidized by applying heat treatment in an atmosphere where oxygen is present. In this case, an oxidized silicon layer (30'), effecting strong mixture of the noble metal and the formed oxide, is produced. Adhesion of the noble metal layer (28) to the insulation layer (34) is improved, based on a comparatively large internal surface acquired by this method. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Abstract:
The invention relates to a microelectronic structure, which provides improved protection of a hydrogen-sensitive dielectric against hydrogen contamination. According to the invention, the hydrogen-sensitive dielectric (14) is covered at least by an intermediate oxide (18), whose material thickness is at least five times the thickness of the hydrogen-sensitive dielectric. The intermediate oxide (18) simultaneously acts as an intermetal dielectric and is metallized on its surface for this purpose. The intermediate oxide (18), which has a sufficient thickness, absorbs the hydrogen that may be released during the deposition of a hydrogen barrier layer (22, 26), thus protecting the hydrogen-sensitive dielectric (14).
