SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WITH CONNECTING STRUCTURE HAVING A DOPED LAYER AND METHOD FOR FORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18359414 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WITH CONNECTING STRUCTURE HAVING A DOPED LAYER AND METHOD FOR FORMING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a connecting structure that is used in electronic devices.
- The structure includes multiple layers, including a first dielectric layer, a doped dielectric layer, and a metal portion.
- The first dielectric layer is placed over a substrate and a conductive feature.
- The doped dielectric layer is placed over the first dielectric layer.
- A first metal portion is located in the first dielectric layer and is in contact with the conductive feature.
- A doped metal portion is placed over the first metal portion.
- Both the first metal portion and the doped metal portion are made of the same noble metal material.
- The doped dielectric layer and the doped metal portion contain the same dopants.
Original Abstract Submitted
A connecting structure includes a first dielectric layer disposed over a substrate and a conductive feature, a doped dielectric layer disposed over the first dielectric layer, a first metal portion disposed in the first dielectric layer and in contact with the conductive feature, and a doped metal portion disposed over the first metal portion. The first metal portion and the doped metal portion include a same noble metal material. The doped dielectric layer and the doped metal portion include same dopants.
