摘要: In the course of forming a resistor in the back end of an integrated circuit, an intermediate dielectric layer is deposited and a trench etched through it and into a lower dielectric layer by a controllable amount, so that the top of a resistor layer deposited in the trench is close in height to the top of the lower dielectric layer; the trench is filled and the resistor layer outside the trench is removed, after which a second dielectric layer is deposited. Vias passing through the second dielectric layer to contact the resistor then have the same depth as vias contacting metal interconnects in the lower dielectric layer. A tri-layer resistor structure is employed in which the resistive film is sandwiched between two protective layers that block diffusion between the resistor and BEOL ILD layers.

摘要: Passive components are formed in the back end by using the same deposition process and materials as in the rest of the back end. Resistors are formed by connecting in series individual structures on the nth, (n+1)th, etc levels of the back end. Capacitors are formed by constructing a set of vertical capacitor plates from a plurality of levels in the back end, the plates being formed by connecting electrodes on two or more levels of the back end by vertical connection members.

摘要: A method for integrating the formation of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors within dual damascene processing includes forming a lower interlevel dielectric (ILD) layer having a lower capacitor electrode and one or more lower metal lines therein, the ILD layer having a first dielectric capping layer formed thereon. An upper ILD layer is formed over the lower ILD layer, and a via and upper line structure are defined within the upper ILD layer. The via and upper line structure are filled with a planarizing layer, followed by forming and patterning a resist layer over the planarizing layer. An upper capacitor electrode structure is defined in the upper ILD layer corresponding to a removed portion of the resist. The via, upper line structure and upper capacitor electrode structure are filled with conductive material, wherein a MIM capacitor is defined by the lower capacitor electrode, first dielectric capping layer and upper capacitor electrode structure.

摘要: A resistor with heat sink is provided. The heat sink includes a conductive path having metal or other thermal conductor having a high thermal conductivity. To avoid shorting the electrical resistor to ground with the thermal conductor, a thin layer of high thermal conductivity electrical insulator is interposed between the thermal conductor and the body of the resistor. Accordingly, a resistor can carry large amounts of current because the high conductivity thermal conductor will conduct heat away from the resistor to a heat sink. Various configurations of thermal conductors and heat sinks are provided offering good thermal conductive properties in addition to reduced parasitic capacitances and other parasitic electrical effects, which would reduce the high frequency response of the electrical resistor.

摘要: A structure for resistors and the method for tuning the same. The resistor comprises an electrically conducting region coupled to a liner region. Both the electrically conducting region and the liner region are electrically coupled to first and second contact regions. A voltage difference is applied between the first and second contact regions. As a result, a current flows between the first and second contact regions in the electrically conducting region. The voltage difference and the materials of the electrically conducting region and the liner region are such that electromigration occurs only in the electrically conducting region. As a result, a void region within the electrically conducting region expands in the direction of the flow of the charged particles constituting the current. Because the resistor loses a conducting portion of the electrically conducting region to the void region, the resistance of the resistor is increased (i.e., tuned).
