This document provides an overview of metallization for integrated circuits. It discusses the requirements and purposes of metallization, including interconnecting thousands of devices on chips. Two common metallization methods described are vacuum evaporation and sputter deposition. Vacuum evaporation locally heats a material source to vaporize and deposit the metal film, while sputter deposition uses ion momentum from a plasma to eject atoms from a target onto the substrate. The document outlines the apparatus and processes for each technique.
Ion implantation is used in semiconductor device fabrication and in metal finishing, as well as in material science research.
it is a low temperature process that includes the acceleration of ions of a particular element towards a target, altering the chemical and physical properties of the target.

In MOS, source-drain regions of adjacent MOS transistors together with interconnection metal lines may constitute parasitic MOS transistors unless they are isolated from each other. Hence, each MOSFET must be electrically isolated from each other. Device Isolation Techniques in VLSI microfabrication of MOS are discussed.
Photolithography, also called optical lithography or UV lithography, is a process used in microfabrication to pattern parts on a thin film or the bulk of a substrate (also called a wafer). It uses light to transfer a geometric pattern from a photomask (also called an optical mask) to a photosensitive (that is, light-sensitive) chemical photoresist on the substrate. A series of chemical treatments then either etches the exposure pattern into the material or enables deposition of a new material in the desired pattern upon the material underneath the photoresist. In complex integrated circuits, a CMOS wafer may go through the photolithographic cycle as many as 50 times.
Photolithography shares some fundamental principles with photography in that the pattern in the photoresist etching is created by exposing it to light, either directly (without using a mask) or with a projected image using a photomask. This procedure is comparable to a high precision version of the method used to make printed circuit boards. Subsequent stages in the process have more in common with etching than with lithographic printing. This method can create extremely small patterns, down to a few tens of nanometers in size. It provides precise control of the shape and size of the objects it creates and can create patterns over an entire surface cost-effectively. Its main disadvantages are that it requires a flat substrate to start with, it is not very effective at creating shapes that are not flat, and it can require extremely clean operating conditions. Photolithography is the standard method of printed circuit board (PCB) and microprocessor fabrication. Directed self-assembly is being evaluated as an alternative to photolithography

Metallization is a general term that refers to the application of a metal coating to another metallic or non-metallic surface. Depending on the desired result, the coating can consist of metals such as zinc, gold, aluminum or silver.

Paul Ahern - Copper/ low-K Interconnect TechnologyPaul Ahern
The one hallmark that typifies the evolution of integrated circuit technology is the relentless move towards faster clock speeds and smaller geometries. The foremost test facing chipmakers today is how to continue to drive this process forward, extending Moore’s Law in the face of fundamental obstacles. The two areas which are providing the biggest hurdles to IC manufacturing today (1) are trying to scale lithography, and (2) scaling interconnect technology into the sub-22 nanometer range.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. METALLIZATION
Metallization is the process by which the components of the ICS are
interconnected by aluminum conductor or metallization is the process that
connects individual devices together by means of microscopic wires to form
circuits.
This process produces a thin film of metal layer that will serve as the required
conductor pattern for the interconnection of the various components on the
chips.
With the help of metallization thousand of devices can be interconnected using
fine line metal patterns.
The metal films can be formed by various methods like ChemicalVapor
Deposition (CVD) and PhysicalVapor Deposition(PVD).
4. REQUIREMENTS OF METALLIZATION

6. METALLIZATION APPLICATION VLSI &
METHODS OF METALLIZATION
APPLICATION:
Used to Gates for MOSFET.
Used to make Ohmic Contacts.
Interconnects.
Used to connect thousand of MOSFET
internally.
Provides connection to the outside world.
METHODES:
Sputtering (SPUT).
Evaporation(EVA).
Physical vapour Deposition (PVD).
ChemicalVapour Deposition (CVD).
7. PROBLEMS IN METALLIZATION
1. DEPOSITION:
Impurities in the films, adhesion and thickness non uniformity are two various problems,
related to deposition. Impurities in the films can be minimized by using pure evaporation
and sputtering sources, high vacuum and clean surface. Cracks in the deposition are
because of poor adhesion or surface unevenness. Controlling these effects will eliminate
cracks.
2. PROCESSING:
Different stages of IC processing utilize metallization. Gate metal is deposited in early
stages and the contact metal towards the end. Thus the gate metal in subjected to
considerable processing while the contact metal experiences very little processing steps.
8. PROBLEMS IN METALLIZATION
3. METALLURGICAL AND CHEMICAL INTERACTION:
Metallization can be completely destroyed by reaction induced by thermally activated
process with the substrates or layer the top.
4. ELECTRO MIGRATION:
The corresponding current density becomes large. High current densities can cause devices
failure due to Electromigration.
9. VACUUM EVAPORATION:
In this process the material to be evaporated is heated in a evacuated chamber so that it attains a
gaseous state. Vapour of thin material transvers the space from the source to the substrate on which
they eventually land. The pressure is maintained well below 10 torr.
10. DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE
APPARATUS
ROUGHING PUMP: It is used to evacuate the chamber.
HIGHVACUUM PUMP: Maintain high vacuum by reducing pressure with the help by
nitrogen cooled trap.
SPUTTER GAS: Is used to clean the surface of the wafer.
The evaporation technique is of following two type:
GLOBAL: Energy is supplied to the entire mass of the source present. The major
problem with this scheme is that the boat containing the source material also gets
evaporated and thus contaminates the deposition film.
LOCAL: It employs laser beam and electron beam evaporation. In this systems a beam
of focused electron is allowed to be incident on the sources contained in the crucible. The
beam causes the source material to metal and vaporize locally at the point of incidence of
the beam.
12. SPUTTER DEPOSITION
PRICIPAL:
Sputtering is driven by momentum exchange between the ions and
atoms in the material due to collision. The process can be thought of as atomic
billiards, with the ion striking a large cluster of close-packed atoms.
13. APPARATUS
The required breakdown voltage is given by the Pascal’s Law
