Back-end-of-line wiring structures with integrated passive elements and design structures for a radiofrequency integrated circuit
摘要:
Back-end-of-line (BEOL) wiring structures that include a passive element, such as a thin film resistor or a metal-insulator-metal capacitor, and multiple-height vias in a metallization level, as well as design structures for a radiofrequency integrated circuit. The wiring structures generally include a first metal-filled via in a dielectric layer having sidewalls that intersect the passive element and a second metal-filled via in the dielectric layer with sidewalls that do not intersect the passive element. The bottom of the first via includes a conductive layer that operates as an etch stop to prevent deepening of the sidewalls of the first via into a portion of the passive element when the second via is fully etched through the dielectric layer. A liner is applied to the layer of conductive material and the sidewalls of the first via, and the remaining space is filled with another conductive layer.
