    摘要: Electromigration behavior in complex metallization systems of semiconductor devices may be enhanced at critical areas between a metal line and a via by locally forming a copper/silicon compound. In some illustrative embodiments, the formation of the copper/silicon compound may be combined with other treatments for cleaning the exposed surface areas and/or modifying the molecular structure thereof.

    摘要: During the formation of a complex metallization system, the influence of a manufacturing environment on sensitive barrier/seed material systems may be monitored or controlled by using an appropriate test pattern and applying an appropriate test strategy. For example, actual probe and reference substrates may be prepared and may be processed with and without exposure to the manufacturing environment of interest, thereby enabling an efficient evaluation of one or more parameters of the environment. Furthermore, an “optimized” manufacturing environment may be obtained on the basis of the test strategy disclosed herein.

    摘要: By providing thermoelectric elements, such as Peltier elements, in a semiconductor device, the overall heat management may be increased. In some illustrative embodiments, the corresponding active cooling/heating systems may be used in a stacked chip configuration to establish an efficient thermally conductive path between temperature critical circuit portions and a heat sink of the stacked chip configuration.

    摘要: By exposing a wet chemical cleaning solution, such as hydrofluoric acid, to a pressurized inert gas ambient prior to applying the solution to patterned dielectric materials of semiconductor devices, the incorporation of oxygen into the liquid during storage and application may be significantly reduced. For instance, by generating a substantially saturated state in the pressurized inert gas ambient, a substantially oversaturated state may be achieved during the application of the liquid in ambient air, thereby enhancing efficiency of the treatment, for instance, by reducing the amount of material removal of exposed copper surfaces after trench patterning, without requiring sophisticated modifications of process chambers.
