Abstract:
Techniques for generating enhanced inductors and other electronic devices are presented. A device generator component (DGC) performs directed-self assembly (DSA) co-polymer deposition on a circular guide pattern formed in low-k dielectric film, and DSA annealing to form two polymers in the form of alternating concentric rings; performs a loop cut in the concentric rings to form concentric segments; fills the cut portion with insulator material; selectively removes first polymer, fills the space with low-k dielectric, and planarizes the surface; selectively removes the second polymer, fills the space with conductive material, and planarizes the surface; deposits low-k film on top of the concentric segments and insulator material that filled the loop cut portion; forms vias in the low-k film, wherein each via spans from an end of one segment to an end of another segment; and fills vias with conductive material to form conductive connectors to form substantially spiral conductive structure.

Claim (Index 9):
A method, comprising:\n depositing a directed self-assembly co-polymer layer over another layer; annealing the directed self-assembly co-polymer layer to form concentric rings comprising respective first concentric rings of a first polymer material and respective second concentric rings of a second polymer material, wherein a portion of the respective second concentric rings is formed between the respective first concentric rings; forming concentric segments of a conductive material, wherein the concentric segments have a defined shape, and wherein the concentric segments are formed by cutting out portions from the concentric rings; depositing at least one of a first insulator material or a second insulator material between at least one of the concentric segments or open regions formed between respective ends of the concentric segments; and connecting respective conductive connectors to a portion of respective ends of the concentric segments to facilitate creating an inductor.
