Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure is provided to prevent energy that is used to blow at least one fuse formed on a metal layer above a semiconductor substrate from causing damage on the structure. The semiconductor structure includes a device, guard ring, protection ring, and at least one protection layer. The device is constructed on the semiconductor substrate underneath the fuse. A seal ring, which surrounds the fuse, is constructed on at least one metal layer between the device and the fuse for confining the energy therein. The protection layer is formed within the seal ring, on at least one metal layer between the device and the fuse for shielding the device from being directly exposed to the energy.

Abstract: An improved dual damascene structure, and process for manufacturing it, are described in which the via hole is first lined with a layer of silicon nitride prior to adding the diffusion barrier and copper. This allows use of a barrier layer that is thinner than normal (since the silicon nitride liner is an effective diffusion barrier) so that more copper may be included in the via hole, resulting in an improved conductance of the via. A key feature of the process that is used to make the structure is the careful control of the etching process. In particular, the relative selectivity of the etch between silicon oxide and silicon nitride must be carefully adjusted.
