摘要: We describe here Intel's 14nm high-performance logic technology interconnects and back end stack featuring 13 metal layers a tri-metal laminated metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor. For the first time on product in high volume, multiple (M4 M6) incorporate an air gap integration scheme to deliver up 17% RC benefit. Pitch Division patterning is introduced yield capable interconnect with minimum pitch of 52nm.
