Imec demonstrates 16nm pitch Ru lines with record-low resistance obtained using a semi-damascene integration approach

A cost-effective approach to patterning the first local interconnect metal layer of A7 and beyond logic nodes
June 3, 2025

LEUVEN (Belgium), June 3, 2025— This week, at the 2025 IEEE
International Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC), imec, a
world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital
technologies, presents Ru lines at 16nm pitch with average resistance as
low as 656W/µm. The 16nm pitch metal lines were fabricated using a
semi-damascene integration flow optimized for cost-effective
manufacturability, making it an attractive approach for fabricating the
first local interconnect metal layer of the A7 and beyond technology nodes.

Ruthenium (Ru) semi-damascene has been originally proposed by imec as an
attractive module approach … Read More → "Imec demonstrates 16nm pitch Ru lines with record-low resistance obtained using a semi-damascene integration approach"
