METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE INCLUDING INTERLAYER INSULATING FILMS HAVING DIFFERENT YOUNGS MODULUS

A preferred aim of the invention is to provide technique for improving reliability of semiconductor devices when using a low-dielectric-constant film having a lower dielectric constant than a silicon oxide film to a part of an interlayer insulating film. More specifically, to achieve the preferred aim, an interlayer insulating film IL1 forming a first fine layer is formed of a middle-Young's-modulus film, and thus it is possible to separate an integrated high-Young's-modulus layer (a semiconductor substrate 1S and a contact interlayer insulating film CIL) and an interlayer insulating film (a low-Young's-modulus film; a low-dielectric-constant film) IL2 forming a second fine layer not to let them directly contact with each other, and stress can be diverged. As a result, film exfoliation of the interlayer insulating film IL2 formed of a low-Young's-modulus film can be prevented and thus reliability of semiconductor devices can be improved.

Diffusion barrier collar for interconnects

Representative implementations of techniques and devices are used to reduce or prevent conductive material diffusion into insulating or dielectric material of bonded substrates. Misaligned conductive structures can come into direct contact with a dielectric portion of the substrates due to overlap, especially while employing direct bonding techniques. A barrier interface that can inhibit the diffusion is disposed generally between the conductive material and the dielectric at the overlap.

HYBRID MANUFACTURING WITH MODIFIED VIA-LAST PROCESS

Microelectronic assemblies fabricated using hybrid manufacturing with modified via-last process are disclosed. The fabrication approach is based on using hybrid manufacturing to bond first and second IC structures originally provided on different dies but filling at least portions of vias that are supposed to couple across a bonding interface between the first and second IC structures with electrically conductive materials after the IC structures have been bonded. A resulting microelectronic assembly that includes the first and second IC structures bonded together may have vias extending through all of the first IC structure and into the second IC structure, thus providing electrical coupling between one or more components of the first IC structure and those of the second IC structure, where an electrically conductive material in the individual vias is continuous through the first IC structure and at least a portion of the second IC structure.
