Abstract

This paper presents a 65 nm CMOS technology for mobile multimedia applications. To reduce capacitance of inter-connects is essential to high-speed data transmission and small power consumption for mobile core chips. We have chosen hybrid ULK structure which consists of NCS (nano-clustering silica (1); k=2.25) at wire level and SiOC (k=2.9) at via level. Although NCS is one of porous materials, NCS/SiOC structure has sufficient mechanical strength to endure CMP pressure and wire bondings. Successfully fabricated 200 nm-pitch hybrid-ULK/Cu interconnects and a high-performance and low-leakage transistor meet the electrical target from circuit requirements. Moreover, an embedded 6T-SRAM with a 0.55 μm2 small cell size has been achieved.
