Abstract:
The invention is directed to unique high-surface area BEOL capacitor structures with high-k dielectric layers and methods for fabricating the same. These high-surface area BEOL capacitor structures may be used in analog and mixed signal applications. The capacitor is formed within a trench with pedestals within the trench to provide additional surface area. The top and bottom electrodes are created using damascene integration scheme. The dielectric layer is created as a multilayer dielectric film comprising for instance Al2O3, Al2O3/Ta2O5, Al2O3/Ta2O5/Al2O3 and the like. The dielectric layer may be deposited by methods like atomic layer deposition or chemical vapor deposition. The dielectric layer used in the capacitor may also be produced by anodic oxidation of a metallic precursor to yield a high dielectric constant oxide layer.

Abstract:
A method of improving the tolerance of a back-end-of-the-line (BEOL) thin film resistor is provided. Specifically, the method of the present invention includes an anodization step which is capable of converting a portion of base resistor film into an anodized region. The anodized resistor thus formed has a sheet resistivity that is higher than that of the base resistor film.
