    摘要: A method of fabricating a metal-oxide-metal capacitor in a microelectronic device is provided. First, a recess is formed in a surface of a dielectric layer deposited over a microelectronic substrate. A first barrier layer is then deposited over the dielectric layer such that the first barrier layer conforms to the recess. A first conductive element is then deposited over the first barrier layer so as to at least fill the recess. A second barrier layer is further deposited over the first conductive element such that the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer cooperate to encapsulate the first conductive element. The first conductive element thus comprises a first plate of the capacitor. A capacitor dielectric layer is then deposited over the second barrier layer, followed by the deposition of a second conductive element over the capacitor dielectric layer. The second conductive element thus comprises a second plate of the capacitor. In one embodiment, the dielectric layer may be comprised of an oxide and the barrier layers are comprised of, for example, tantalum; tantalum nitride; titanium nitride; tungsten nitride; silicon nitrides of tantalum, titanium, and tungsten; and combinations thereof. The first conductive element is preferably comprised of copper. The capacitor dielectric may be comprised of an oxide or tantalum pentoxide, while the second conductive element may be comprised of a layer of an aluminum alloy disposed between two barrier layers, each comprised of, for example, tantalum; tantalum nitride; titanium nitride; tungsten nitride; silicon nitrides of tantalum, titanium, and tungsten; and combinations thereof. Associated apparatuses are also provided.

    摘要: An integrated circuit device includes a dielectric layer having an opening therein, and a capacitor comprising in stacked relation a lower electrode lining the opening, a capacitor dielectric layer adjacent the lower electrode, and an upper electrode adjacent the capacitor dielectric layer. The capacitor has a substantially planar upper surface substantially flush with adjacent upper surface portions of the dielectric layer. Additionally, the edges of the lower electrode and the capacitor dielectric layer preferably terminate at the upper surface of the capacitor. Also, the capacitor dielectric may include a high-k, high quality and low leakage dielectric, and which prevents the reduction of the capacitor dielectric by the metal of the upper and lower metal electrodes.

    摘要: A method for making an integrated circuit capacitor includes forming a first dielectric layer adjacent a substrate, forming a first opening in the first dielectric layer, filling the first opening with a conductive material to define a first metal plug, and forming a trench in the first dielectric layer adjacent the first metal plug. An interconnection line lines the first trench and contacts the first metal plug to define anchoring recesses on opposite sides of the first metal plug. The method further includes forming a second dielectric layer on the interconnection line, forming a second opening in the second dielectric layer, and filling the second opening with a conductive metal to define a second metal plug having a body portion and anchor portions extending downward from the body portion for engaging the anchoring recesses to anchor the second metal plug. A second trench is formed in the second dielectric layer adjacent the second metal plug, and is aligned with the first trench. Because the second metal plug is anchored, a depth of the second trench can be greater without the metal plug becoming loose and separating from the underlying interconnection line. The electrodes and dielectric layers of the capacitor are formed so that they line the second trench.

    摘要: The specification describes a composite TiN barrier layer structure formed by depositing a first TiN layer by CVD to obtain good step coverage, followed by a second TiN layer formed by PVD to obtain uniform surface morphology for subsequent deposition of an aluminum alloy contact layer. Alternatively, uniform TiN layer morphology is obtained by depositing multiple CVD TiN layers as a series of thin strata, and passivating after each deposition step to fully crystallize each stratum thereby obtaining a uniformly crystallized barrier layer.
