  • Publication number: 20230395506
    Abstract: Adjacent interconnect features are in staggered, vertically spaced positions, which accordingly reduces their capacitive coupling within a level of interconnect metallization. Adjacent interconnect features may comprise a plurality of first interconnect lines with spaces therebetween. A dielectric material is over the first interconnect lines and within the spaces between the first interconnect lines. Resultant topography in the dielectric material defines a plurality of trenches between the first interconnect lines. The adjacent interconnect features further comprise a plurality of second interconnect lines interdigitated with the first interconnect lines that occupy at least a portion of the trenches between individual ones of the first interconnect lines.

  • Publication number: 20230197602
    Abstract: Adjacent interconnect lines are in staggered, vertically spaced positions, which accordingly reduces their capacitive coupling within one level of interconnect metallization. Short and tall interconnect via openings are landed on the vertically staggered interconnect lines. Cap material selectively deposited upon upper ones of the staggered interconnect lines limits over etch of the short vias while the tall vias are advanced toward lower ones of the staggered interconnect lines. The via openings of differing depth may be filled, for example with a single damascene metallization process that defines a co-planar top surface for all via metallization over the staggered, vertically spaced interconnect lines.

  • Publication number: 20230197643
    Abstract: IC die and/or IC die packages including capacitors with a pyrochlore-based insulator material. The pyrochlore-based insulator material comprises a compound of a species A and a species B, each comprising one or more rare earths or metals. In the pyrochlore-based insulator material, oxygen content is advantageously more than three times and less than four times the amount of either of species A or B with crystalline pyrochlore phases having the composition A2B2O7. Within a capacitor, the pyrochlore-based insulator may be amorphous and/or may have one or more crystalline phases. The pyrochlore-based insulator has an exceedingly high relative permittivity of 50-100, or more. The pyrochlore-based insulator material may be deposited at low temperatures compatible with interconnect metallization processes practiced in IC die manufacture as well as IC die packaging.

  • Patent number: 11659722
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device including a semiconductor substrate, a first device of a first wafer, and a second device at back end of a second wafer, where the first device is bonded with the second device. A first metal electrode of the first device within a first dielectric layer is coupled to an n-type oxide TFT having a channel layer that includes an oxide semiconductor material. A second metal electrode of the second device within a second dielectric layer is coupled to p-type organic TFT having a channel layer that includes an organic material. The first dielectric layer is bonded to the second dielectric layer, and the first metal electrode is bonded to the second metal electrode. The n-type oxide TFT and the p-type organic TFT form a symmetrical pair of transistors of a CMOS circuit. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20220352068
    Abstract: IC interconnect structures including subtractively patterned features. Feature ends may be defined through multiple patterning of multiple cap materials for reduced misregistration. Subtractively patterned features may be lines integrated with damascene vias or with subtractively patterned vias, or may be vias integrated with damascene lines or with subtractively patterned lines. Subtractively patterned vias may be deposited as part of a planar metal layer and defined currently with interconnect lines.

  • Patent number: 11139401
    Abstract: Transistor structures with a deposited channel semiconductor material may have a vertical structure that includes a gate dielectric material that is localized to a sidewall of a gate electrode material layer. With localized gate dielectric material threshold voltage variation across a plurality of vertical transistor structures, such as a NAND flash memory string, may be reduced. A via may be formed through a material stack, exposing a sidewall of the gate electrode material layer and sidewalls of the dielectric material layers. A sidewall of the gate electrode material layer may be recessed selectively from the sidewalls of the dielectric material layers. A gate dielectric material, such as a ferroelectric material, may be selectively deposited upon the recessed gate electrode material layer, for example at least partially backfilling the recess. A semiconductor material may be deposited on sidewalls of the dielectric material layers and on the localized gate dielectric material.
