摘要:
Techniques are disclosed for providing on-chip capacitance using through-body-vias (TBVs). In accordance with some embodiments, a TBV may be formed within a semiconductor layer, and a dielectric layer may be formed between the TBV and the surrounding semiconductor layer. The TBV may serve as one electrode (e.g., anode) of a TBV capacitor, and the dielectric layer may serve as the dielectric body of that TBV capacitor. In some embodiments, the semiconductor layer serves as the other electrode (e.g., cathode) of the TBV capacitor. To that end, in some embodiments, the entire semiconductor layer may comprise a low-resistivity material, whereas in some other embodiments, low-resistivity region(s) may be provided just along the sidewalls local to the TBV, for example, by selective doping in those location(s). In other embodiments, a conductive layer formed between the dielectric layer and the semiconductor layer serves as the other electrode (e.g., cathode) of the TBV capacitor.

The present invention relates to an electronic device (300) comprising at least one trench capacitor (302) that can also take the form of an inverse structure, a pillar capacitor. An alternating layer sequence (308) of at least two dielectric layers (312, 316) and at least two electrically conductive layers (314, 318) is provided in the trench capacitor or on the pillar capacitor, such that the at least two electrically conductive layers are electrically isolated from each other and from the substrate by respective ones of the at least two dielectric layers. A set of internal contact pads (332, 334, 340) is provided, and each internal contact pad is connected with a respective one of the electrically conductive layers or with the substrate. By providing an individual internal contact pad for each of the electrically conductive layers, a range of switching opportunities is opened up that allows tuning the specific capacitance of the capacitor to a desired value. The electronic device of the invention thus provides a flexible trench-capacitor manufacturing platform for a multitude of combinations of electrically conductive layers with each other, or, when multiple trenches are used, between electrically conductive layers of different trench capacitors. On-chip applications such as a charge-pump circuit or a DC-to-DC voltage converter are claimed that benefit from the ultra-high capacitance density and the high breakdown voltage that can be achieved with the electronic device of the invention.
摘要:
A bottle-shaped trench capacitor having an expanded lower trench portion with an epi layer therein. The epi layer serves as the buried plate of the trench capacitor. A diffusion region surrounds the expanded lower trench portion to enhance the dopant concentration of the epi layer. The diffusion region is formed by, for example, gas phase doping, plasma doping, or plasma immersion ion implantation.
摘要:
A method of forming a buried plate in a silicon substrate uses a silicon substrate having a deep trench etched into the silicon substrate. A highly doped polysilicon layer is formed within the trench. A nitride layer is then formed within the trench over the polysilicon layer. After forming both the polysilicon layer and the nitride layer, both the polysilicon layer and the nitride layer are etched from a certain uppermost portion of the sidewalls of the trench thereby exposing the silicon substrate at the uppermost portions of the sidewalls. After exposing the silicon substrate at the uppermost portions of the sidewalls, a collar oxide layer is formed over the exposed silicon substrate at the uppermost portions of the sidewalls thereby protecting any edges of the polysilicon layer exposed by the etching step.
