Described herein is an assembly (30) of an integrated device (1) and of a cap (32) coupled to the integrated device; the integrated device (1) is provided with at least a first and a second region (16, 17) to be fluidically accessed from outside, and the cap (32) has an outer portion (32a) provided with at least a first and a second inlet port (35, 36) in fluid communication with the first and second regions (16, 17). In particular, the first and second regions (16, 17) are arranged on a first outer face (20a), or on respective adjacent outer faces (20a, 20c), of the integrated device (1), and an interface structure (38) is set between the integrated device (1) and the outer portion (32a) of the cap (32), and is provided with a channel arrangement (39, 40) for routing the first and second regions (16, 17) towards the first and second inlets (35, 36).
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a body (1) and, in the body (1): a semiconductor substrate (2), a semiconductor structural layer (10) and a dielectric layer (12) therebetween. A through interconnection via (30) traverses the body (1) and extends through the dielectric layer (12). The through interconnection via (30) has: a front-side interconnection region (17), including a portion of the structural layer (10) that extends between the dielectric layer (12) and a front face (10a) of the body (1) and is laterally insulated from the remainder of the structural layer (10); a back-side interconnection region (27), including a portion of the substrate (2) that extends between the dielectric layer (12) and a back face (2a) of the body (1) and is laterally insulated from the remainder of the substrate (2) by a back-side insulation trench (29). The back-side insulation trench (29) extends across the entire substrate (2; 102; 202), from the back face (2a) of the body (1) to the dielectric layer (12) the; and a conductive continuity region (8) connecting the front-side interconnection region (17) and the back-side interconnection region (27) through the dielectric layer (12).

Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a through via in a semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a body (1) comprising a structural layer (10), a substrate (2), and a dielectric layer (12) set between the structural layer (10) and the substrate (2); insulating a portion of the structural layer (10) to form a front-side interconnection region (17); insulating a portion of the substrate (2) to form a back-side interconnection region (27); and connecting the front-side interconnection region (17) and the back-side interconnection region (27) through the dielectric layer (12).
Abstract:
A contact structure (30) in an electronic semiconductor device, including a first conducting region (31) having a first thin portion with a first sublithographic dimension in a first direction; a second conducting region (32) having a second thin portion (32a) with a second sublithographic dimension in a second direction transverse to said first direction; the first and second conducting regions being in direct electrical contact at the first and second thin portions and defining a contact area (33) having a sublithografic extension, lower than 100 nm, preferably about 20 nm. The thin sublithographic portions are obtained using deposition instead of lithography: the first thin portion is deposed on a wall of an opening in a first dielectric layer (34); the second thin portion is obtained by deposing a sacrificial region on vertical wall of a first delimitation layer, deposing a second delimitation layer on the free side of the sacrificial region, removing the sacrificial region to form a sublithographic hard mask opening that is used to etch a mold opening (40) in a mold layer (38) and filling the mold opening.
Abstract:
Process for the manufacture of a non volatile memory with memory cells arranged in lines (2) and columns (3) in a matrix structure, with source lines (10) extending parallelly and intercalate to said lines (1), said source lines (10) formed by active regions intercalated to field oxide zones (4), said process comprising steps for the definition of active areas of said columns (3) of said matrix of non volatile memory cells and the definition of said field oxide zones (4), subsequent steps for the definition of the lines (2) of said matrix of non volatile memory cells, a following step for the definition of said source lines (10). In said step for the definition of the source lines a process step comprising a selective introduction of dopant is foreseen so to form a layer of buried silicon with high concentration of dopant (30), said layer of buried silicon (30) being formed to such a depth to coincide with the regions of silicon the underlying field oxide zones (4), a following introduction of dopant in said active regions of the source lines (10) to superficially contact said layer of buried silicon (30).
