    • A method for fabricating a metal-insulator-metal capacitor wherein top metal corner shaping during patterning is eliminated is described. An insulating layer is provided overlying a semiconductor substrate. A composite metal stack is formed comprising a first metal layer overlying the insulating layer, a capacitor dielectric layer overlying the first metal layer, a second metal layer overlying the capacitor dielectric layer, and a hard mask layer overlying the second metal layer. A first photoresist mask is formed overlying the hard mask layer. The composite metal stack is patterned using the first photoresist mask as an etching mask whereby the patterned first metal layer forms a bottom electrode of the capacitor. A portion of the first photoresist mask is removed by plasma ashing to form a second photoresist mask narrower than the first photoresist mask. The hard mask layer is patterned using the second photoresist mask as an etching mask. The second metal layer is patterned using the hard mask layer as an etching mask whereby the second metal layer forms a top electrode of the capacitor to complete fabrication of a metal-insulator-metal capacitor.

    • The subject matter disclosed herein relates to structures formed on semiconductor chips that are used for at least partially addressing the thermally induced stresses and metallization system cracking problems in a semiconductor chip that may be caused by the presence of through-silicon vias (TSV's), and which may be due primarily to the significant differences in thermal expansion between the materials of the TSV's and the semiconductor-based materials that generally make up the remainder of the semiconductor chip. One device disclosed herein includes a substrate and a crack-arresting structure positioned above the substrate, the crack-arresting structure comprising a plurality of crack-arresting elements and having a perimeter when viewed from above. The device also includes a conductive structure positioned at least partially within the perimeter of the crack-arresting structure, and a conductive element extending through an opening in the crack-arresting structure, wherein the conductive element is conductively coupled to the conductive structure.

    • A method to form robust dual damascene interconnects by decoupling via and connective line trench filling has been achieved. A first dielectric layer is deposited overlying a silicon nitride layer. A shielding layer is deposited. The shielding layer, the first dielectric layer, and the silicon nitride layer are patterned to form via trenches. A first barrier layer is deposited to line the trenches. The via trenches are filled with a first copper layer by a single deposition or by depositing a seed layer and then electroless or electrochemical plating. The first copper layer is polished down to complete the vias. A second barrier layer is deposited. The second barrier layer is patterned to form via caps. A second dielectric layer is deposited. A capping layer is deposited. The capping layer and the second dielectric layer are patterned to form connective line trenches that expose a part of the via caps. A third barrier layer is deposited to line the connective line trenches. The third barrier layer and the via caps are etched to form trench barrier sidewall spacers and to expose the vias. The connective line trenches are filled with a second copper layer by a single deposition, by a first deposition of a seed layer followed by plating, or by plating using the via as the seed layer. The second copper layer is polished down.

    • A method to integrate low dielectric constant dielectric materials with copper metallization is described. A metal line is provided overlying a semiconductor substrate and having a nitride capping layer thereover. A polysilicon layer is deposited over the nitride layer and patterned to form dummy vias. A dielectric liner layer is conformally deposited overlying the nitride layer and dummy vias. A dielectric layer having a low dielectric constant is spun-on overlying the liner layer and covering the dummy vias. The dielectric layer is polished down whereby the dummy vias are exposed. Thereafter, the dielectric layer is cured whereby a cross-linked surface layer is formed. The dummy vias are removed thereby exposing a portion of the nitride layer within the via openings. The exposed nitride layer is removed. The via openings are filled with a copper layer which is planarized to complete copper metallization in the fabrication of an integrated circuit device.
