    摘要: Novel structures for capacitors which are capable of withstanding heat treatments to at least 400.degree. C. while providing low defect densities and low electrical series resistance in its electrodes are disclosed. In one embodiment of the present invention, a capacitor structure includes a bottom capacitor electrode formed of a first sub-layer of aluminum, a second sub-layer of tantalum nitride, and a third sub-layer of tantalum. The capacitor structure further includes a sputtered dielectric layer of tantalum pentoxide over the tantalum sub-layer of the bottom electrode. The resulting structure is anodized such that the underlying tantalum layer is fully anodized, and preferably such that a portion of the tantalum nitride layer is converted to a tantalum oxy-nitride. The tantalum nitride layer was discovered by the inventors to act as a good high temperature diffusion barrier for the aluminum, preventing the aluminum from migrating into the anodized tantalum pentoxide layer under high temperature processing conditions, where it would chemically reduce the tantalum atoms in the tantalum pentoxide layer and introduce conductive paths of tantalum in the dielectric (tantalum pentoxide) layer. The aluminum layer provides good electrical conductivity for the bottom electrode, and is anodized to fill any pinhole defects in the layers formed above it, thereby increasing manufacturing yields.

    摘要: A high density through-hole interconnect with high aspect ratio vias is formed by sequentially forming layers of dielectric material on a previous dielectric layer. After each layer is formed, a plurality of through holes are etched through each layer and filled or metalized with an electrically conductive material having a coefficient of thermal expansion matching that of the dielectric layers and the integrated circuit that it will connect with. Preferably, the process of forming dielectric layers, forming through holes, and metalizing the through holes is repeated until the metalized through holes have an aspect ratio in the range of from 6 to 10. A support structure is constructed to interconnect with and support the metalized vias while the dielectric material is removed. A second dielectric material having the desired mechanical and electrical properties is poured into the support structure to fill the space between the metalized vias and allowed to solidify. The support structure is removed and the through-hole interconnector, comprising the metalized vias and the second dielectric material, is lapped and polished to predetermined manufacturing dimensions and tolerances.

    摘要: A three dimensional thin-film interconnector is fabricated by depositing a dielectric layer onto the surface of a substrate, depositing a layer of conductive material onto the dielectric layer to form a signal plane, depositing a dielectric layer onto the surface of the signal plane, forming a plurality of through holes in the dielectric layer that extend to the signal plane, and filling the through holes with an electrically conductive material to form vias. The sequence of forming a signal plane, depositing a dielectric layer, forming a plurality of through holes, and filling the through holes is repeated until a predetermined number of signal planes and a predetermined arrangement of vias are obtained. The through holes are formed at locations in the dielectric layers corresponding to both predetermined electrical connections and the vias in a preceding dielectric layer. The signal planes are formed at different locations on the substrate. The sequence of signal planes and dielectric layers at the same location on the substrate form a signal plane set which defines a connector. Contact pads are deposited onto the surface of a final dielectric layer and electrically connect with each via. Wires are used to electrically connect the contact pads of one connector to corresponding contact pads of another connector. A portion of the substrate and dielectric layers not comprising a signal plane set is removed, forming electrical connectors flexibly attached by the plurality of wires.
