  • Patent number: 7348217
    Abstract: Method and structure for optimizing and controlling diffusional creep at metal contact interfaces are disclosed. Embodiments of the invention accommodate height variations in adjacent contacts, decrease planarization uniformity requirements, and facilitate contact bonding at lower temperatures and pressures by employing shapes and materials that respond predictably to compressive interfacing loads.
