    摘要: A method of forming a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor includes forming a first planar dielectric layer with a first metallization layer therein; forming a first passivation layer on top thereof; forming a planar conductive layer above the first passivation layer; patterning and selectively removing the conductive layer up to the first passivation layer in designated areas to form a set of conductive features; patterning and conformally coating the set of conductive features and the exposed first passivation layer with a high strength dielectric coating; disposing a second dielectric layer above the first passivation layer and enclosing the set of conductive features; patterning and selectively removing portions of the second substrate to form channels and trenches; performing a dual-Damascene process to form a second metallization layer in the trenches and channels and to form an upper conductive surface above the high strength dielectric coating.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device structure that comprises a substrate with front and back surfaces, and at least one semiconductor device with a first conductive structure located in the substrate and a second conductive structure located thereover. A first conductive contact is located over the front surface of the substrate and laterally offset from the first conductive structure. The first conductive contact is electrically connected to the first conductive structure by a conductive path that extends: (1) from the first conductive structure through the substrate to the back surface, (2) across the back surface, and (3) from the back surface through the substrate to the first conductive contact on the front surface. Further, a second conductive contact is located over the front surface and is electrically connected to the second conductive structure. The conductive path can be formed by lithography and etching followed by metal deposition.

    摘要: The present invention provides multiple test structures for performing reliability and qualification tests on MEMS switch devices. A Test structure for contact and gap characteristic measurements is employed having a serpentine layout simulates rows of upper and lower actuation electrodes. A cascaded switch chain test is used to monitor process defects with large sample sizes. A ring oscillator is used to measure switch speed and switch lifetime. A resistor ladder test structure is configured having each resistor in series with a switch to be tested, and having each switch-resistor pair electrically connected in parallel. Serial/parallel test structures are proposed with MEMS switches working in tandem with switches of established technology. A shift register is used to monitor the open and close state of the MEMS switches. Pull-in voltage, drop-out voltage, activation leakage current, and switch lifetime measurements are performed using the shift register.
