    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of forming metal interconnects uses a direct metal etch approach to form and fill the metal gap. The method may include directly etching a metal layer to form metal patterns. The metal patterns may be spaced apart from one another by recesses. A dielectric spacer may be formed extending along the sidewalls of each of the recesses. The recesses may be filled with a conductive material to form a second set of metal patterns. By directly etching the metal film, the technique allows for reduced line width roughness. The disclosed structure may have the advantages of increased reliability, better RC performance and reduced parasitic capacitance.

  • Publication number: 20230140202
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to protection of a standby amplifier of a memory device. Specifically, an input voltage of the standby amplifier may be reduced to decrease an occurrence of damage to the standby amplifier or components thereof. In some embodiments, the input voltage may be reduced using a voltage divider that provides the reduced input voltage to the standby amplifier during a power up operation. Upon completion of the power up operation, the input voltage of the standby amplifier may return to an operating voltage. The reduced input voltage may reduce the occurrence of damage to the standby amplifier by maintaining a gate to drain voltage of one or more transistors of the standby amplifier below a maximum.
