PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor device that is mechanically robust and ensures a long lifetime, without negative impact on functional product reliability. SOLUTION: The semiconductor device 300 includes a semiconductor component integrated in a semiconductor substrate and a conductive pad 110, arranged on top of the semiconductor device 300. This conductive pad 110 is electrically connected to the semiconductor component. The pad 110 is arranged for connecting the semiconductor device 300 externally. A dielectric material 310 is positioned between the conductive pad 110 and an embedded conductive layer 20 of the semiconductor device 300. The dielectric material 310 comprises a stress-blocking structure. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
The invention relates to a conductor track connection structure comprising a first conductor track (M1), a second conductor track (M2), and a plurality of connection elements (V) that electrically connect the first conductor track (M1) to the second conductor track (M2). According to the invention, the plurality of connection elements (V) is laterally embodied in at least one lateral region (S) of the first and second conductor tracks, in relation to an overlay alignment (I) of the conductor tracks, while a central region (Z) is free of connection elements (V). In this way, the electromigration properties of the connection structure are significantly improved and the current carrying capacity is increased.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method according to which a photosensitive resist layer arrangement (10) is produced after the production of a layer (12) to be structured, and is vertically selectively structured. Said resist layer arrangement contains, for example, a lower layer of lacquer (14) and an upper layer of lacquer (18). The inventive method enables less steps to be carried out during the production of an integrated circuit arrangement.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit arrangement (12) is disclosed, amongst other things, in which the thickness (D2a) of an etching stop layer (18a) is matched to the etching process such that contact holes (26, 28) of varying depths can be precisely etched as far as a top electrode (16a) and a base electrode (10a).

Abstract:
The capacitor element has a carrier substrate (300) with a dielectric layer (310) arranged on the surface (300a) of the carrier substrate or arranged in the carrier substrate and capacitor electrodes (314,316) arranged next to each other in the dielectric layer and relative to the surface of the substrate so that the capacitance of the capacitor element is formed between the electrodes. AN Independent claim is also included for a method of generating a condenser element.
Abstract:
Additional planar structures are arranged closely adjacent to each other around a via (4) or contact hole and the corresponding conductive track (2), within the uppermost and/or the underlying conductive track (2) of the metallization plane. The structures are dummy structures with or without circuit functions, e.g. dummy tracks.
Abstract:
Component comprises an active structure (814) arranged on a substrate (800) and having side walls (818), and an auxiliary structure (100) arranged next to the active structure on the substrate and having side edges (102). The side edges of the active structure lie opposite the side edges of the auxiliary structure by a distance. The auxiliary structure-active structure distance is dimensioned so that one shape of the active structure side edges or one shape of the substrate next to the active structure side edges are different from the shape of the component in which the auxiliary structure is not present. An independent claim is also included for a process for the production of a component.
Abstract:
Irradiating a resist during the production of an integrated switching arrangement comprises forming a radiation-sensitive resist layer arrangement (10) after producing a layer (12) to be structured, and irradiating the resist layer arrangement using a radiation source. During irradiation the structure of a region (40-44) close to the radiation source is changed in such a way that the region is selectively developed and the structure of a region (46-50) of the resist layer arrangement away from the radiation source covered by the region close to the radiation source is only slightly changed.
