Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) structure includes an active area of the IC structure insulator positioned over a substrate. The active area includes an interconnection structure comprised of a first plurality of levels. Each of the interconnect structure levels including an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer, a barrier layer disposed over the ILD and a conductor metal layer over the barrier layer. The structure also includes a crack stop area which includes a crack stop structure having a second plurality of levels. The interconnect and crack stop structures have an equal number of levels. A third plurality of the crack stop structure levels include a high modulus layer unique to the respective crack stop structure level as compared to the corresponding interconnect structure level. In another aspect of the invention, a method for fabricating the structure is described.

Claim (Index 17):
The method as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the high modulus layer in the first level is a first high modulus material and the high modulus layer in the second level is a second high modulus material, wherein the first high modulus material is a different material than the second high modulus material.
