    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a capacitor located over a semiconductor substrate. The capacitor includes a first conductive layer having a first lateral perimeter, and a second conductive layer having a second smaller lateral perimeter. A first dielectric layer is located between the second conductive layer and the first conductive layer. The first dielectric layer has a thinner portion having the first lateral perimeter and a thicker portion having the second lateral perimeter. An interconnect line is located over the substrate, and includes a third conductive layer that is about coplanar with and has about a same thickness as the first conductive layer. A second dielectric layer is located over the third conductive layer. The second dielectric layer is about coplanar with and has about a same thickness as the thinner portion of the first dielectric layer.

    Abstract: Multi-step deposition of lead-zirconium-titanate (PZT) ferroelectric material. An initial portion of the PZT material is deposited by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at a low deposition rate, for example at a temperature below about 640 deg C. from vaporized liquid precursors of lead, zirconium, and titanium, and a solvent at a collective flow rate below about 1.1 ml/min, in combination with an oxidizing gas. Following deposition of the PZT material at the low flow rate, the remainder of the PZT film is deposited at a high deposition rate, attained by changing one or more of precursor and solvent flow rate, oxygen concentration in the oxidizing gas, A/B ratio of the precursors, temperature, and the like.

    Abstract: Semiconductor devices including a nitrogen doped field relief dielectric layer are described. The microelectronic device comprises a substrate including a body region having a first conductivity type and a drain drift region having a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type; a gate dielectric layer on the substrate, the gate dielectric layer extending over the body region and the drift region and a doped field relief dielectric layer on the drift region. Doping of the field relief dielectric layer with nitrogen raises the dielectric constant of the field relief dielectric above that of pure silicon dioxide. Increasing the dielectric constant of the field relief dielectric layer may improve channel hot carrier performance, improve breakdown voltage, and reduce the specific on resistance of the microelectronic device compared to a microelectronic device of similar size with a field relief dielectric which is not doped with nitrogen.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a semiconductor surface layer of a substrate including circuitry formed in the semiconductor surface layer configured together with a Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) capacitor. A multi-layer metal stack on the semiconductor surface layer includes a bottom plate contact metal layer including a bottom capacitor plate contact. A first interlevel dielectric (ILD) layer is over the bottom plate contact metal layer. The MIM capacitor includes a trench in the first ILD layer over the bottom capacitor plate contact, wherein the trench is lined by a bottom capacitor plate with a capacitor dielectric layer thereon, and a top capacitor plate on the capacitor dielectric layer. A fill material fills the trench to form a filled trench. A second ILD layer is over including the filled trench. A filled via through the second ILD layer provides a contact to a top plate contact on the top capacitor plate.
