    摘要: Methods and solutions for forming self assembled organic monolayers that are covalently bound to metal interfaces are presented along with a device containing a self assembled organic monolayer. Embodiments of the present invention utilize self assembled thiolate monolayers to prevent the electromigration and surface diffusion of copper atoms while minimizing the resistance of the interconnect lines. Self assembled thiolate monolayers are used to cap the copper interconnect lines and chemically hold the copper atoms at the top of the lines in place, thus preventing surface diffusion. The use of self assembled thiolate monolayers minimizes the resistance of copper interconnect lines because only a single monolayer of approximately 10 Å and 20 Å in thickness is used.

    摘要: A method for controlling etch bias of carbon doped oxide films comprising performing the etch in a cyclic two step process i.e., a carbon doped oxide (CDO) removal process, said CDO removal process comprises a first gas to etch a trench in the CDO layer. The CDO removal process is followed by a polymer deposition process. The polymer deposition process comprises introducing a second gas in the reactor to deposit a polymer in the trench of the CDO layer. The first gas comprises a first molecule having a first ratio of carbon atoms to fluorine atoms, and the second gas comprises a second molecule having a second ratio of carbon atoms to fluorine atoms, such that the second ratio of carbon atoms to fluorine atoms is greater than the first ratio of carbon atoms to fluorine atoms. The above process may be repeated to etch the final structure.

    摘要: A method of producing curved, folded or reconfigurable structures includes providing a polymer film, exposing the polymer film to at least one of patterned radiation or patterned chemical contact, and conditioning the polymer film subsequent to the exposing. The polymer film includes a polymer that is active to cross-linking of polymer chains in response to the exposing. The exposing is performed such that at least one exposed region of the polymer film develops a gradient in an amount of cross-linking of polymer chains along a cross-sectional direction of the polymer film, and the conditioning of the polymer film removes uncross-linked polymer chains to provide a curved, folded or reconfigurable structure.

    摘要: The self-assembly of polyhedral nanostructures having at least one dimension of about 100 nm to about 900 nm with electron-beam lithographically patterned surfaces is provided. The presently disclosed three-dimensional nanostructures spontaneous assemble from two-dimensional, tethered panels during plasma or wet chemical etching of the underlying silicon substrate. Any desired surface pattern with a width as small as fifteen nanometers can be precisely defined in all three dimensions. The formation of curving, continuous nanostructures using extrinsic stress also is disclosed.

    摘要: An inter-layer dielectric structure and method of making such structure are disclosed. A composite dielectric layer, initially comprising a porous matrix and a porogen, is formed. Subsequent to other processing treatments, the porogen is decomposed and removed from at least a portion of the porous matrix, leaving voids defined by the porous matrix in areas previously occupied by the porogen. The resultant structure has a desirably low k value as a result of the porosity and materials comprising the porous matrix and porogen. The composite dielectric layer may be used in concert with other dielectric layers of varying porosity, dimensions, and material properties to provide varied mechanical and electrical performance profiles.
