Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform planarization easily during manufacture of a semiconductor device and minimize a parasitic capacitance with an adjacent wiring structure. SOLUTION: This is a method for forming a layout for a wiring layer of a semiconductor device to perform uniform planarization easily during manufacture of the semiconductor device. The method includes a step of determining an active wiring structure density of each of a plurality of layout regions in a wiring layout. The method further includes a step of adding a dummy filling structure to each layout region to obtain desired densities of the active wiring structure and the dummy filling structure so that uniform planarization during manufacture of the semiconductor device can be performed easily. Since the dummy filling structure is added to obtain desired densities of the active wiring structure and the dummy filling structure, the dummy filling structure is not added unnecessarily and each layout region has a uniform density.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a resistor for a four transistor static random access memory (4T SRAM) structure (100, Fig. 1) is disclosed. The method comprises forming dielectric layer (230) over active region (210) of semiconductor (205), forming resistive layer (340) on dielectric layer (230) and connecting active region (210) to resistive layer (340) through an interconnect structure (235, 435, 445). Resistive layer (340) includes a compound with a first element from group III or group IV and a second element from group IV or group V, e.g. silicon carbide or gallium nitride. The resistive layer (340) may be amorphous, and may be formed by physical vapour deposition. The resistor may be connected to transistor structure (200, Fig. 2) with source (215), drain (216) and gate (220) with dielectric (225).

Abstract: A cap or barrier that can prevent the migration of impurities in low dielectric constant material, thereby preventing the impurities from attacking conductive elements in subsequent levels of a multi-level integrated circuit structure. The integrated circuit may be fabricated by disposing the diffusion-preventing barrier layer (104) between a first dielectric layer (103) and the conductive layer (201) at an upper level of the integrated circuit. The diffusion preventing barrier layer may be formed in-situ over the impurity containing dielectric material with the subsequent disposition of a metal layer thereover, and further processing of a multi-layer dielectric structure to include polishing. The in-situ deposition of the cap or barrier layer prevents the exposure of the impurity containing layer to atmosphere, thereby avoiding contamination of the layer by moisture absorption, hydrogen absorption, or the like. In an exemplary embodiment, the diffusion preventing barrier layer is a material containing silicon oxide or silicon rich silicon oxide SiO x , where x is preferably less than 2 and the first dielectric layer is fluorosilicate glass (FSG).

Abstract: A technique for fabricating an integrated circuit in which a protective layer 303 of undoped silicon glass (USG) is deposited over conductive elements 302 . A layer of low-k dielectric material 304 such as fluorosilicate glass (FSG) is deposited over the protective layer 303 , preferably by high density plasma chemical vapour deposition (HDP-CVD). The process results in significantly improved gap fill capabilities for high aspect ratio conductive features (aspect ratio of order of two or more) with spacing between the features of less than 300nm. By virtue of the fluorine incorporation in the exemplary embodiment, a reduction of the order of 10% in line-to-line capacitance, C L-L , may be realised when compared to conventional undoped dielectric materials.

Abstract: A method for making a layout for an interconnect layer of a semiconductor device to facilitate uniformity of planarization during manufacture of the semiconductor device includes determining an active interconnect feature density for each of a plurality of layout regions 60(1)-60(n) of the interconnect layout (30, Figure 5). The method further includes adding dummy fill features 74(1)-74(n) to the layout region to obtain a desired density of active interconnect features 70(1)-70(n) and dummy fill features 74(1)-74(n) to facilitate uniformity of planarization during the manufacturing of the semiconductor device. The positions of the dummy film features 74(1)-74(n) may be based upon capacitance with adjacent active interconnect features, or with capacitance with adjacent active interconnect features in an adjacent interconnect layer. The dummy fill features 74(1)-74(n) may have a minimum dummy fill feature lateral dimension based upon a dielectric layer deposition bias for a dielectric layer deposited over the interconnect layer. A semiconductor device has a substrate and at least one interconnect layer overlying the semiconductor substrate comprising a plurality of layout regions. Each layout region 60(1)-60(n) comprises an active interconnect feature region and a dummy fill feature region adjacent thereto for facilitating uniformity of planarization during manufacture the semiconductor device. Each of the dummy fill regions has a different density with respect to other dummy fill regions so that a combined density of the active interconnect feature region and the dummy fill feature region for a respective layout region is substantially uniform with respect to the combined density of other layer regions. The density of the active interconnect features for a respective layout region may be determined using a layout algorithm.

Abstract: A method of forming a contact opening (450) in a dielectric layer (345) of a semiconductor device comprises forming a self aligned contact (SAC) layer (240) over gates (120, 121), and forming opening (450) to contact an active region (116) of a semiconductor device (500). The SAC layer (240) includes a compound comprising either a group III element and a group IV element, a group III and a group V element, or two group IV elements, e.g. silicon carbide and boron nitride. Alternatively, SAC layer (240) may be titanium carbide. The SAC layer (240) may be amorphous, and may be deposited by chemical or physical vapour deposition. The semiconductor device (500) may include a transistor with source (115, 117), drain (116) and gate (120, 121), which may be part of a static or dynamic random access memory element (SRAM) or (DRAM). The contact structure (555) in opening (450) may comprise plug (565) with barrier layers (561,562).
