    Abstract: A fabrication system. A plating tool generates a layer of conductive material on a substrate. A polishing tool uses a mechanical mechanism to remove the conductive material from the substrate. A metrology tool measures an electromagnetic signal induced in the conductive material using a non-destructive testing mechanism. A controller, coupled to the polishing and metrology tools, determines residue thickness and removal rate of the conductive material during the polishing process according to the measured electromagnetic signal, and adjusts process parameters for the plating and polishing tools accordingly.

    Abstract: The construction of a film on a wafer, which is placed in a processing chamber, may be carried out through the following steps. A layer of material is deposited on the wafer. Next, the layer of material is annealed. Once the annealing is completed, the material may be oxidized. Alternatively, the material may be exposed to a silicon gas once the annealing is completed. The deposition, annealing, and either oxidation or silicon gas exposure may all be carried out in the same chamber, without need for removing the wafer from the chamber until all three steps are completed. A semiconductor wafer processing chamber for carrying out such an in-situ construction may include a processing chamber, a showerhead, a wafer support and a rf signal means. The showerhead supplies gases into the processing chamber, while the wafer support supports a wafer in the processing chamber. The rf signal means is coupled to the showerhead and the wafer support for providing a first rf signal to the showerhead and a second rf signal to the wafer support.

    Abstract: A high power, high luminous flux light emitting diode (LED) comprises a substrate, a light-emitting structure, a first electrode and a second electrode. The LED has a top surface layout design in which the first electrode has a number of legs extending in one direction, and the second electrode has a number of legs extending in the opposite direction. At least portions of the legs of the first electrode are interspersed with and spaced apart from portions of the legs of the second electrode. This provides a configuration that enhances current spreading along the length of the legs of both electrodes.

    Abstract: An interconnect structure for a semiconductor device and its method of manufacture is described. The interconnect structure comprises a multi-layer structure having one or more stress-relief layers. In an embodiment, stress-relief layers are positioned between layers of electroplated copper or other conductive material. The stress-relief layer counteracts stress induced by the conductive material and helps prevent or reduce a pull-back void. For an interconnect structure using electroplated copper, the stress-relief layer may be formed by temporarily reducing the electroplating current, thereby causing a thin film of copper having a larger grain size to be formed between other layers of copper. The larger grain size typically exhibits more of a compressive stress than copper with a smaller grain size. The stress relief layer may also be formed of other materials, such as SIP-Cu, Ta, SiC, or the like.
