The invention relates to a method for producing a capacitor arrangement, and to a corresponding capacitor arrangement, wherein the first insulating layer is formed at the surface of a carrier substrate and a first capacitor electrode with a multiplicity of interspaced first interconnects is produced in said insulating layer. Using a mask layer, partial regions of the first insulating layer are removed for the purpose of uncovering the multiplicity of first interconnects, and after the formation of a capacitor dielectric at the surface of the uncovered first interconnects, a second capacitor electrode is formed with a multiplicity of interspaced second interconnects lying between the first interconnects coated with capacitor dielectric. This additionally simplified production method enables self-aligning and cost-effective production of capacitors having a high capacitance per unit area and mechanical stability.

The invention relates to a method for fabricating thin metal-containing layers (5C) having low electrical resistance, firstly a metal-containing starting layer (5A) having a first grain size being formed on a carrier material (2). Afterwards, a locally delimited thermal region (W) is produced and moved in the metal-containing starting layer (5A) in such a way that a recrystallization of the metal-containing starting layer (5A) is carried out for the purpose of producing the metal-containing layer (5C) having a second grain size, which is enlarged with respect to the first grain size. A metal-containing layer having improved electrical properties is obtained in this way.
摘要:
A method of forming a semiconductor device, such as a self-passivating fuse, includes patterning an opening in a dielectric to form a fuse. A seed-layer of a copper-alloy is deposited in the opening and the opening is filled with pure copper. The copper is planarized and a passivation layer is deposited. This passivation layer can be thinned over a fuse portion of the copper. The fuse portion can then be laser fused to form a crater in an area surrounding a blown copper fuse. Exposed portions of the pure copper can then be self-passivated by annealing the device.
