MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18156752 titled 'MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method of making a semiconductor structure. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method starts by creating a recess in an insulation layer.
  • A protection layer is then formed along the sidewall of the recess.
  • A conductive line is formed in the recess, making direct contact with the protection layer.
  • An insulation material is deposited over the conductive line.
  • Another recess is defined in the insulation material.
  • A second conductive line is formed in the second recess.
  • A via is created from the second conductive line, directly contacting the sidewall of the protection layer.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Semiconductor manufacturing
  • Integrated circuit fabrication

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a method for creating a semiconductor structure with improved conductivity and insulation properties.
  • Allows for the formation of multiple conductive lines in a compact space.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced performance and reliability of semiconductor devices.
  • Increased efficiency in circuit design and layout.
  • Enables the creation of more complex and compact integrated circuits.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of making a semiconductor structure includes defining a first recess in an insulation layer. The method further includes forming a protection layer along a sidewall of the first recess. The method further includes forming a first conductive line in the first recess and in direct contact with the protection layer. The method further includes depositing a first insulation material over the first conductive line. The method further includes defining a second recess in the first insulation material. The method further includes forming a second conductive line in the second recess. The method further includes forming a via extending from the second conductive line, wherein the via directly contacts a sidewall of the protection layer.
