摘要: Techniques for simultaneously plating features of varying sizes on a semiconductor substrate are provided. In one aspect, a method for electroplating includes: placing a shield over a wafer, offset from a surface of the wafer, which covers portions of the wafer and leaves other portions of the wafer uncovered; and depositing at least one metal onto the wafer by electroplating to simultaneously form metallurgical features of varying sizes on the wafer based on the shield altering local deposition rates for the portions of the wafer covered by the shield. An electroplating apparatus is also provided.

摘要: Copper (Cu)-to-Cu bonding techniques for high bandwidth interconnects on a bridge chip attached to chips which are further attached to a packaging substrate are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming an interconnect structure is provided. The method includes: bonding individual chips to at least one bridge chip via Cu-to-Cu bonding to form a multi-chip structure; and bonding the multi-chip structure to a packaging substrate via solder bonding, after the Cu-to-Cu bonding has been performed, to form the interconnect structure including the individual chips bonded to the at least one bridge chip and to the packaging substrate. A structure formed by the method is also provided.

摘要: A method for fabricating a dual redistribution layer (RDL) interposer structure is provided. The method includes etching a semiconductor substrate to expose natural crystallographic planes to form trenches. The method also includes depositing conductive material within the trenches of the etched semiconductor substrate to form vias for an interposer structure. The method includes placing back end of line (BEOL) inter-chip wiring on a top side of the interposer structure using a first RDL. The method includes exposing the vias on a back side of the interposer structure. The method further includes forming power RDLs on a back side of the interposer structure using conductive lines in a dielectric layer.

摘要: Methods are provided for fabricating void-free metallic interconnect structures with self-formed diffusion barrier layers. A seed layer is deposited to line an etched opening in a dielectric layer. A metallic capping layer is selectively deposited on upper portions and upper sidewall surfaces of the seed layer which define an aperture into the etched opening. An electroplating process is performed to plate metallic material on exposed surfaces of the seed layer within the etched opening, which are not covered by the capping layer to form a metallic interconnect. The capping layer prohibits plating of metallic material on the capping layer and closing the aperture before the electroplating process is complete. A thermal anneal process is performed to cause the metallic material of the metallic capping layer to diffuse though the metallic interconnect and create a self-formed diffusion barrier layer between the metallic interconnect and the surfaces of the etched opening.

摘要: A method for forming an ion flow barrier between conductors includes forming a barrier material through a via in an interlevel dielectric layer and onto a first metal layer and recessing the barrier material to form a thickness of the barrier material on the first metal layer in the via, the thickness forming an ion flow barrier. A second metal layer is deposited in the via over the ion flow barrier such that, during operation, the ion flow barrier reduces ion flow between the first metal layer and the second metal layer while maintaining low resistance.
