In a copper alloy bonding wire for semiconductor devices, the bonding longevity of a ball bonded part under high-temperature and high-humidity environments is improved. The copper alloy bonding wire for semiconductor devices includes in total 0.03% by mass or more to 3% by mass or less of at least one or more kinds of elements selected from Ni, Zn, Ga, Ge, Rh, In, Ir, and Pt (first element), with the balance Cu and inevitable impurities. The inclusion of a predetermined amount of the first element suppresses production of an intermetallic compound susceptible to corrosion under high-temperature and high-humidity environments at the wire bonding interface and improves the bonding longevity of a ball bonded part.

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.

A composite integrated circuit (IC) structure includes at least a first IC die in a stack with a second IC die. Each die has a device layer and metallization layers interconnected to transistors of the device layer and terminating at features. First features of the first IC die are primarily of a first composition with a first microstructure. Second features of the second IC die are primarily of a second composition or a second microstructure. A first one of the second features is in direct contact with one of the first features. The second composition has a thermal conductivity at least an order of magnitude lower than that of the first composition and first microstructure. The first composition may have a thermal conductivity at least 40 times that of the second composition or second microstructure.

Composite integrated circuit (IC) device structures that include two components coupled through a hybrid bonded composite interconnect structure. The two components may be two different monolithic IC structures (e.g., chips) that are bonded over substantially planar dielectric and metallization interfaces. Composite interconnect metallization features formed at a bond interface may be doped with a metal or chalcogenide dopant. The dopant may migrate to a periphery of the composite interconnect structure and form a barrier material that will then limit outdiffusion of a metal, such as copper, into adjacent dielectric material.

Methods and apparatus relating to very large scale FET arrays for analyte measurements. ChemFET (e.g., ISFET) arrays may be fabricated using conventional CMOS processing techniques based on improved FET pixel and array designs that increase measurement sensitivity and accuracy, and at the same time facilitate significantly small pixel sizes and dense arrays. Improved array control techniques provide for rapid data acquisition from large and dense arrays. Such arrays may be employed to detect a presence and/or concentration changes of various analyte types in a wide variety of chemical and/or biological processes. In one example, chemFET arrays facilitate DNA sequencing techniques based on monitoring changes in hydrogen ion concentration (pH), changes in other analyte concentration, and/or binding events associated with chemical processes relating to DNA synthesis.
