An energy storage device such as a metal-insulator-metal capacitor and a method for manufacturing the energy storage device. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor includes an insulating material positioned between a bottom electrode or bottom plate and a top electrode or top plate. The surface area of the bottom electrode is greater than the surface area of the insulating material and the surface area of the insulating material is greater than the surface area of the top electrode. The top electrode and the insulating layer have edges that are laterally within and spaced apart from edges of the bottom electrode. A protective layer covers the top electrode, the edges of the top electrode, and the portions of the insulating layer that are uncovered by the top electrode. The protective layer serves as an etch mask during the formation of the bottom electrode.

In one embodiment, a trench shield electrode layer is separated from a trench gate electrode by an inter-electrode dielectric layer. A conformal deposited dielectric layer is formed as part of a gate dielectric structure and further isolates the trench shield electrode from the trench gate electrode. The conformal deposited dielectric layer is formed using an improved high temperature oxide (HTO) low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process.

The invention comprises a carbon nanotube switch suitable for use in an integrated circuit structure and capable of being moved from a first position in a first plane in the switch to a second position in a second plane in the switch using approximately the same energy as required to move the switch from the second position back to the first position. The switch comprises a flexible carbon nanotube strip secured clamped at one end in a first plane in a switching chamber, and secured or clamped, at the opposite end of the carbon nanotube, in a second plane in the switching chamber, which is parallel to the first plane but spaced therefrom, to permit the central portion of the carbon nanotube strip to move in the chamber between a first position in the first plane and in electrical contact with one or more first electrodes and a second position in the second plane and in electrical contact with one or more second electrodes.
摘要:
A method of forming a self-aligned logic cell. A nanotube layer is formed over the bottom electrode. A clamp layer is formed over the nanotube layer. The clamp layer covers the nanotube layer, thereby protecting the nanotube layer. A dielectric layer is formed over the clamp layer. The dielectric layer is etched. The clamp layer provides an etch stop and protects the nanotube layer. The clamp layer is etched with an isotropic etchant that etches the clamp layer underneath the dielectric layer, creating an overlap of the dielectric layer, and causing a self-alignment between the clamp layer and the dielectric layer. A spacer layer is formed over the nanotube layer. The spacer layer is etched except for a ring portion around the edge of the dielectric layer. The nanotube layer is etched except for portions that are underlying at least one of the clamp layer, the dielectric layer, and the spacer layer, thereby causing a self-alignment between the clamp layer, the overlap to the dielectric layer, the spacer layer, and the nanotube layer.

The present invention is directed to improved dielectric copper barrier layer and related interconnect structures. One structure includes a semiconductor substrate having a copper line. An insulating layer formed of at least one of silicon and carbon is formed on the underlying copper line. An opening is formed in the insulating layer to expose a portion of the copper line. The inner surface of the opening in the insulating layer has a dielectric barrier layer formed thereon to prevent the diffusion of copper into the insulating layer. A copper plug is formed to fill the opening and make electrical contact with the underlying copper interconnect structure. Aspects of the invention also include methods for forming the dielectric copper barrier layers and associate copper interconnects to the underlying copper lines.
