L/sub GATE/transistors, six layers of aluminum interconnects and low-/spl epsi/SiOF
dielectrics. The transistors are optimized for a reduced 1.3-1.5 V operation to provide high
performance and low power. The interconnects feature high aspect ratio metal lines for low
resistance and fluorine doped SiO/sub 2/inter-level dielectrics for reduced capacitance. 16
Mbit SRAMs with a 5.59/spl mu/m/sup 2/6-T cell size have been built on this technology as a …
