  • Patent number: 11600566
    Abstract: An electronic fuse (e-fuse) module may be formed in an integrated circuit device. The e-fuse module may include a pair of metal e-fuse terminals (e.g., copper terminals) and an e-fuse element formed directly on the metal e-fuse terminals to define a conductive path between the pair of metal e-fuse terminals through the e-fuse element. The metal e-fuse terminals may be formed in a metal interconnect layer, along with various interconnect elements of the integrated circuit device. The e-fuse element may be formed by depositing and patterning a diffusion barrier layer over the metal e-fuse terminals and interconnect elements formed in the metal interconnect layer. The e-fuse element may be formed from a material that provides a barrier against metal diffusion (e.g., copper diffusion) from each of the metal e-fuse terminals and interconnect elements. For example, the e-fuse element may be formed from titanium tungsten (TiW) or titanium tungsten nitride (TiW2N).

  • Patent number: 11524893
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing recessed micromechanical structures in a MEMS device wafer. First vertical trenches in the device wafer define the horizontal dimensions of both level and recessed structures. The horizontal face of the device wafer and the vertical sidewalls of the first vertical trenches are then covered with a self-supporting etching mask which is made of a self-supporting mask material, which is sufficiently rigid to remain standing vertically in the location where it was deposited even as the sidewall upon which it was deposited is etched away. Recess trenches are then etched under the protection of the self-supporting mask. The method allows a spike-preventing aggressive etch to be used for forming the recess trenches, without harming the sidewalls in the first vertical trenches.
