    摘要: A method for fabricating an improved metal-insulator-metal capacitor is achieved. An insulating layer is provided overlying conducting lines on a semiconductor substrate. Via openings through the insulating layer to the conducting lines are filled with metal plugs. A first metal layer is deposited overlying the insulating layer and the metal plugs. A capacitor dielectric layer is deposited overlying the first metal layer wherein capacitor dielectric layer is deposited as a dual layer, each layer deposited within a separate chamber whereby pinholes are eliminated. A second metal layer and a barrier metal layer are deposited overlying the capacitor dielectric layer. The second metal layer and the barrier metal layer are patterned to form a top plate electrode. Thereafter, the capacitor dielectric layer and the first metal layer are patterned to form a bottom plate electrode completing fabrication of a metal-insulator-metal capacitor.

    摘要: A process for integrating the fabrication of a thick, copper inductor structure, with the fabrication of narrow channel length CMOS devices, has been developed. The integrated process features the use of only one additional photolithographic masking step, used to form the opening in an IMD layer, that will accommodate the subsequent inductor structure. After forming damascene type openings in the same IMD layer, in the CMOS region, copper is deposited and then defined, to result in a thick, copper inductor structure, in the opening in the IMD layer, in a first region of a semiconductor substrate, as well as to result in copper interconnect structures, in the damascene type openings located in a second region of the semiconductor structure, used for the narrow channel length CMOS devices. The use of a thick, copper inductor structure, equal to the thickness of the IMD layer, results in increased inductance, or an increased quality factor, when compared to counterparts formed with thinner metal inductors.
