CONDUCTIVE INTERCONNECT STRUCTURES INCORPORATING NEGATIVE THERMAL EXPANSION MATERIALS AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS

摘要

Semiconductor devices having interconnects incorporating negative expansion (NTE) materials are disclosed herein. In one embodiment a semiconductor device includes a substrate having an opening that extends at least partially through the substrate. A conductive material having a positive coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) partially fills the opening. A negative thermal expansion (NTE) having a negative CTE also partially fills the opening. In one embodiment, the conductive material includes copper and the NTE material includes zirconium tungstate.
