  • Publication number: 20230402378
    Abstract: A semiconductor component includes an area of dielectric material extending below an uppermost surface of a substrate. The semiconductor component further includes a trench formed so as to extend from above the uppermost surface of the substrate into the area of dielectric material. The semiconductor component further includes a non-metal liner coating interior surfaces of the trench. The semiconductor component further includes a metal liner coating interior surfaces of the non-metal liner. The semiconductor component further includes a power rail formed in the trench in direct contact with at least one of the metal liner or the non-metal liner such that the power rail extends into the area of dielectric material and above the uppermost surface of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20230207330
    Abstract: One or more systems, devices and/or methods provided herein relate to a circuit device having a modular or selectively designed interconnect structure with a plurality of conformal features. In the semiconductor realm, such achievements can allow for fabrication of a device with sub 18 nanometer (nm) or lesser pitch between adjacent and/or parallel lines of the interconnect structure. A device can comprise a semiconductor device having an interconnect structure having a first set of parallel lines and a second set of parallel lines, where the lines of the first set can be arranged in a transverse direction to the lines of the second set. The lines of the first set can be disposed orthogonally to the lines of the second set. The first second sets of lines can comprise first and second rounded jogs that are conformal to one another and which connect the first set of lines to the second set of lines.

  • Publication number: 20230146034
    Abstract: An approach providing a semiconductor structure that provides a self-leveling, flowable, dielectric material for a gap fill material between vertical structures in many emerging non-volatile memory devices that are being formed with vertical structures for increasing memory device density. The semiconductor structure provides a flat dielectric surface between a plurality of contacts in a back end of the line metal layer in both the memory region and in the logic region of the semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes a first portion of the plurality of contacts that each connect to a pillar-based memory device in an array of pillar-based memory devices. The first portion of the contacts that each connect to a pillar-based memory device in the array of memory devices reside in a conventional interlayer dielectric material under the self-leveling dielectric material. The flowable, self-leveling material provides a flat dielectric surface during contact formation.
