On-chip interconnection technology Vol. 39, No. 4, 1995
Order No. G322-0198 |
|
Rapid advances in silicon chip technology have resulted from progress made in both the "front end" of the chip manufacturing line, where circuit elements are fabricated, and the "back-end-of-line", where the elements are wired into integrated circuits. The relentless drive toward increased circuit count and device speed has necessitated both revolutionary and evolutionary changes in back-end-of-line manufacturing technology. The papers in this issue of the IBM Journal of Research and Development cover many innovations that have become part of IBM's manufacturing technology and several that will potentially contribute to this technology in the future.
