Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes a multilayer stack, and a plurality of layered conductors extending in the multilayer stack and into a conductor layer beneath the multilayer stack. The layered conductor has a bottom conductor layer in ohmic electrical contact with the conductive layer in a substrate, an intermediate conductive liner layer over the bottom conductor layer and lining a portion of sidewall of the corresponding trench, and a top conductor layer on the top conductive liner layer.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit comprising:\n forming a circuit structure over a substrate; forming a plurality of elongated trenches in the circuit structure, the elongated trenches in the plurality of elongated trenches extending from an upper layer of the circuit structure to the substrate beneath the circuit structure, and having sidewalls; depositing a liner conductor conformal with sidewalls of the elongated trenches, and in electrical contact with the substrate; forming a fill body by filling lower portions of the elongated trenches between the sidewalls over the liner conductor, the fill body having an upper surface recessed from a top surface of the circuit structure; and\n depositing a top conductor body to fill upper portions of the elongated trenches between the sidewalls over the liner conductor, and in current flow communication with the liner conductor, \n wherein the fill body comprises a dielectric material.
