| 20090115061 | Solving Via-Misalignment Issues in Interconnect Structures Having Air-Gaps - An integrated circuit structure is provided. The integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor substrate; and a metallization layer over the semiconductor substrate. The metallization layer includes a conductive line; a low-k dielectric region adjacent and horizontally spaced apart from the conductive line by a space; and a filler dielectric material filling at least a portion of the space, wherein the filler dielectric material and the low-k dielectric region are formed of different materials. The integrated circuit structure further includes a capping layer over and adjoining the filler dielectric material and the low-k dielectric region. The filler dielectric material has a dielectric constant (k value) less than a k value of the capping layer. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090283911 | Backend Interconnect Scheme with Middle Dielectric Layer Having Improved Strength - An integrated circuit structure includes a first, a second and a third metallization layer. The first metallization layer includes a first dielectric layer having a first k value; and first metal lines in the first dielectric layer. The second metallization layer is over the first metallization layer, and includes a second dielectric layer having a second k value greater than the first k value; and second metal lines in the second dielectric layer. The third metallization layer is over the second metallization layer, and includes a third dielectric layer having a third k value; and third metal lines in the third dielectric layer. The integrated circuit structure further includes a bottom passivation layer over the third metallization layer. | 11-19-2009 |
