    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor chip having a dual damascene insulated wire and insulated through-substrate via (TSV) structure and methods of forming the chip. The methods incorporate a dual damascene technique wherein a trench and via opening are formed in dielectric layers above a substrate such that the trench is above a first via and the via opening is positioned adjacent to the first via and extends vertically from the trench and into the substrate. Dielectric spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the trench and via opening. A metal layer is deposited to form an insulated wire in the trench and an insulated TSV in the via opening. Thus, the insulated wire electrically connects the insulated TSV to the first via and, thereby to an on-chip device or lower metal level wire below. Subsequently, the substrate is thinned to expose the insulated TSV at the bottom surface of the substrate.

    Abstract: Disclosed are an interdigitated capacitor and an interdigitated vertical native capacitor, each having a relatively low (e.g., zero) net coefficient of capacitance with respect to a specific parameter. For example, the capacitors can have a zero net linear temperature coefficient of capacitance (Tcc) to limit capacitance variation as a function of temperature or a zero net quadratic voltage coefficient of capacitance (Vcc2) to limit capacitance variation as a function of voltage. In any case, each capacitor can incorporate at least two different plate dielectrics having opposite polarity coefficients of capacitance with respect to the specific parameter due to the types of dielectric materials used and their respective thicknesses. As a result, the different dielectric plates will have opposite effects on the capacitance of the capacitor that cancel each other out such that the capacitor has a zero net coefficient of capacitance with respect to specific parameter.

    Abstract: Methods for planarizing layers of a material, such as a dielectric, and interconnect structures formed by the planarization methods. The method includes depositing a first dielectric layer on a top surface of multiple conductive features and on a top surface of a substrate between the conductive features. A portion of the first dielectric layer is selectively removed from the top surface of at least one of the conductive features without removing a portion the first dielectric layer that is between the conductive features. A second dielectric layer is formed on the top surface of the at least one of the conductive features and on a top surface of the first dielectric layer, and a top surface of the second dielectric layer is planarized. A layer operating as an etch stop is located between the top surface of at least one of the conductive features and the second dielectric layer.
