    摘要: A capacitor structure for an integrated circuit and a method of fabrication are described. The capacitor structure is defined by layers forming interconnect metallization and interlayer dielectrics. The latter are relatively thick, and provide high breakdown voltages. Multilevel metallization schemes allow for a stack of a plurality of electrodes to be provided. The electrodes may take the form of stacks of flat plates interconnected in parallel so that the capacitance is the sum of capacitances of alternate layers in the stack. Advantageously each electrode comprises a main portion and a surrounding portion having the form of a protecting ring, coplanar with the main portion of the electrode. The ring prevents thinning of the dielectric near edges of electrode during fabrication, to improve control of breakdown voltages for high voltage applications. Alternative electrode structures employing a plurality of interconnected fingers, and particularly a configuration having interdigitated fingers, are provided to increase the capacitance per unit surface area. Parallel electrode fingers are stacked in vertical alignment, or offset, and interconnected to provide vertical, horizontal or inclined stacks having different patterns of polarities, thereby forming capacitors of various configurations. The capacitor structures have particular application for high voltage (>100 V), low leakage and high frequency (MHz/GHz) applications.

    摘要: The invention describes a high capacitance damascene capacitor. A etch-stop/capacitor dielectric layer 60 is sandwiched between two conductive plates 40 and 75 to form an integrated circuit capacitor. One metal plate 40 is copper formed using a damascene process. The high capacitance of the structure is due to the thin high k dielectric material used to form the etch-stop/capacitor dielectric layer 60.

    摘要: A method of forming an electrical interconnect through a via to electrically couple two electrically conductive layers and the device. There are provided a pair of electrically conductive layers and an electrically insulating layer between the pair of electrically conductive layers having a via extending between the pair of electrically conductive layers. A layer of titanium is formed covering the walls of the via and extending onto one of the pair of electrically conductive layers. A thin layer of titanium nitride with a poor step ?? technique is formed covering the titanium on the walls but not covering the titanium on the one of the pair of electrically conductive layers. The remainder of the via is filled with aluminum. The layer of titanium and the layer of titanium nitride preferably extend out of the via and between the electrically insulating layer and at least one of the pair of electrically conductive layers. The aluminum is substantially everywhere spaced from the portion of the layer of titanium covering the walls of the via. The filling of the remainder of the via with aluminum can include deposition of aluminum in the via, heating the aluminum to a temperature at which it is plastically deformable and applying pressure to the aluminum to cause the aluminum to substantially fill voids within the aluminum.
