    • Systems and methods for maskless gap (for example, air gap) integration into multilayer interconnects having one or more interconnect lines (for example, metal interconnect lines) embedded in a dielectric layer of the interconnects are described. In various embodiments, the described systems and methods may serve to reduce electrical shorting between adjacent vias in the interconnects. In one embodiment, a spacer layer may be provided to mask portions of an interlayer dielectric (ILD) in the interconnect. These masked portions of the ILD can protect regions between adjacent interconnect lines (for example, metal interconnect lines) from electrical shorting during subsequent metal layer depositions, for example, during a fabrication sequence of the interconnects. Further, the vias may enclose a gap (for example, an air gap) without the need for additional masking steps. Further, such gaps may be inherently self-aligned to the vias and/or spacer layers. Moreover, the gaps may act to reduce capacitance and thereby increase the performance (circuit timing, power consumption, etc.) of the interconnect.
    • 描述了用于将无掩模间隙(例如,气隙)集成到具有嵌入在互连的电介质层中的一个或多个互连线(例如,金属互连线)的多层互连中的系统和方法。 在各种实施例中,所描述的系统和方法可用于减少互连中相邻通孔之间的电短路。 在一个实施例中,可提供间隔物层以掩蔽互连中的层间电介质(ILD)的部分。 例如,在互连的制造顺序期间,ILD的这些掩模部分可以保护相邻互连线之间的区域(例如,金属互连线)免于在后续金属层沉积期间的电短路。 此外,通孔可以封闭间隙(例如,气隙)而不需要额外的掩蔽步骤。 此外,这些间隙可以固有地与通孔和/或间隔层​​自对准。 而且,这些间隙可以起到减小电容的作用,从而增加互连的性能(电路时序,功耗等)。
