WET RECESS FOR RU SUBTRACTIVE PROCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17969440 titled 'WET RECESS FOR RU SUBTRACTIVE PROCESS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a semiconductor device with a dielectric layer, vias, an adhesion layer, and metal lines.

  • The device includes a dielectric layer, which is a layer of insulating material.
  • The dielectric layer has a plurality of vias, which are small holes or openings.
  • An adhesion layer is deposited on top of the dielectric layer, providing a bonding surface.
  • The device also includes a plurality of metal lines, which are conductive pathways.
  • One of the metal lines has a recess at its bottom surface, creating two sections.
  • The first section of the metal line directly contacts one of the vias.
  • The second section, defined by the recess, does not directly contact the via or the dielectric layer.
  • This arrangement allows for specific electrical connections and isolation within the semiconductor device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor device includes a dielectric layer, a plurality of vias formed in the dielectric layer, an adhesion layer deposited on a top surface of the dielectric layer, and a plurality of metal lines. A first metal line of the plurality of metal lines includes a first recess formed at a bottom surface of the first metal line such that a first section of the first metal line directly contacts the first via and a second section of the first metal line defined by the first recess does not directly contact the first via or the dielectric layer in which the first via is formed.
