摘要:
By appropriately designing a plurality of deposition steps and intermediate sputter processes, the formation of a barrier material within a via opening may be accomplished on the basis of a highly efficient process strategy that readily integrates conductive cap layers formed above metal-containing regions into well-approved process sequences.
摘要:
In sophisticated metallization systems, air gaps may be formed on the basis of a self-aligned patterning regime during which the conductive cap material of metal lines may be protected by providing one or more materials, which may subsequently be removed. Consequently, the etch behavior and the electrical characteristics of metal lines during the self-aligned patterning regime may be individually adjusted.
摘要:
An integrated electronic component having a substrate, a metal multilayer system, which is arranged at least on regions of the substrate, and a nonconductive layer, which is arranged on the metal multilayer system and has at least one contact hole, in which at least one carbon nanotube is grown on the metal multilayer system at the bottom of the contact hole. The metal multilayer system includes a high-melting metal layer, a metal separating layer, a catalyst layer, and a final metal separating layer. The high-melting metal layer is composed of at least one of tantalum, molybdenum, and tungsten. The metal separating layer is composed of aluminum, gold, or silver. The catalyst layer is composed of at least one of iron, cobalt, nickel, yttrium, titanium, platinum, and palladium, and a combination thereof. The final metal separating layer, which is arranged above the catalyst layer, is composed of aluminum.
摘要:
By additionally planarizing the surface topography of a planarization layer, which may be accomplished on the basis of mechanical contact, a uniform force, a polishing process and the like, an enhanced surface topography may be provided which may be advantageously used in subsequent patterning processes, such as photolithography, imprint techniques and the like.
摘要:
A process for determining the Start Program Point for a compact disc recording of data first recorded on an other medium, by measuring with the aid of a microscope the radius of the transition from the first pit/land transition from silence to data, measuring with the aid of an editor for the other medium a delay period of silence intended to be part of the data, calculating the Start Program Point and recording the Start Program Point thus calculated on the compact disc.
