Often a kind of interconnection structure that uses is to bury contact.Burying contact can be the multi-crystal silicon area of making direct contact between interconnection structure and active area, eliminates the needs that metal connects.Bury in the contact in formation, open window in the thin gate oxide on the active area that interconnection structure will be electrically connected.After this, the deposit polysilicon directly contacts with active area in the opening, but by the silicon isolation under the gate oxide in other parts of Semiconductor substrate and field oxide and the active area.By being preset in diffuse dopants in the polysilicon in active area, the formation ohmic contact at the interface between polysilicon and active area.Diffuse dopants in active area, effectively, in conjunction with polysilicon and active area.The deposit insulating film layer is buried contact with covering then.Bury contact and so called, form the active area of burying contact, do not bury contact and can not be electrically connected to because metal level can be crossed over.
In some cases, in order to allow to increase the current densities that comprises, a plurality of metal interconnecting layers are stacked in top of each other.Generally, each continuous metal level has the component density that reduces.This classification in the density is because the mask overlap mistake of each additional interconnect accumulation.For example, if active area (active area, AA) and need between second metal level (M2) contact, have to so between AA and the first metal layer (M1), produce through hole, produce then second through hole with the interconnection M1 to M2.The total overlapping tolerance of AA to M2 is AA to M1 contacts tolerance with M1 to M2 a summation.Therefore, be restricted by the ability that increases interconnection layer and increase current densities.
In many cases, providing enough manufacturing tolerances when satisfying size, speed and density requirements may be a challenge task.Need a kind of new structure, but when keeping other manufacturing tolerance of processing stage, allow to increase current densities.
