  • Abstract
    A submicrometer CMOS triple-level metal technology has been demonstrated. The process features include: self-aligned twin-well, improved LOCOS (local oxidation of silicon)-like isolation, scaled gate-oxide thickness, and enhanced channel implants. In addition, an advanced straight wall plug technology has been used which allows the stacking of contact, via 1, and via 2 in the layout. Inverter gate delays of 103 ps have been measured on a development 16 K-gate array with 0.8-μm gate lengths
