Publication number: 20230069107Abstract: Techniques are provided for protecting integrated circuits from plasma-induced electrostatic discharge (ESD) using a carrier substrate with integrated junctions. According to some embodiments, the various metal features within an interconnect region above a plurality of semiconductor devices are electrically coupled to one or more conductive pads on a bonded carrier substrate. The conductive pads provide a contact to underlying doped regions within the carrier substrate that form one or more PN junctions. This provides the ability to electrically ground metal features in the interconnect region via the carrier substrate. Formation of additional interconnect layers such as those provided during far back end of line (FBEOL) processing, can proceed while causing less plasma-induced ESD damage to the integrated circuit, because the interconnect region is connected to ground of carrier substrate by way of PN junctions, thus providing a discharge path for charge that develops during subsequent processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2021Publication date: March 2, 2023Applicant: Intel CorporationInventor: Andy Chih-Hung Wei

Publication number: 20230069567Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for forming interconnect structures, such as conductive vias or contacts, that are protected from subsequent processing that includes reactive gas or plasma. A conductive via or contact within an interconnect layer may be formed with a capping layer having a different material to protect the underlying metal material from reacting with certain reactive gas or plasma elements. In some examples, a ruthenium capping layer is formed over a copper via to protect the copper. Other capping layer materials may include tungsten, cobalt, or molybdenum. In some embodiments, the entire conductive via may be formed using one of ruthenium, tungsten, cobalt, or molybdenum, to avoid the use of more reactive metals, such as copper. The capping layer (or less reactive metals) are used to protect the via during a barrier layer doping process that uses a gas or plasma including a chalcogen element (e.g., sulfur and/or selenium).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2021Publication date: March 2, 2023Applicant: Intel CorporationInventor: Carl H.
