    摘要: The present invention is directed to a structure and method of forming an integrated circuit MIM capacitor having a relatively capacitance without the need for an additional mask step. Methods of forming integrated circuit capacitors include the steps of forming a standard via and one or more enlarged vias in an electrically insulating layer during the same patterning process and then forming an electrically conductive first electrode layer which fills the standard via and overlays the enlarged vias in a conformal manner. A dielectric layer is then formed over the electrically conductive first electrode layer. Next, an electrically conductive second electrode layer is formed over the dielectric layer, which overlays and/or fills the enlarged vias. A step is then performed to planarize the second electrode layer, the dielectric layer, and the first electrode layer to define the electrodes of a capacitor. The resulting capacitor has a relatively large effective electrode surface area (which is a function of the depth of the via) for a given lateral dimension.

    摘要: In accordance with an aspect of the invention, A Schottky junction field effect transistor (JFET) is created using cobalt silicide, or other Schottky material, to form the gate contact of the JFET. The structural concepts can also be applied to a standard JFET that uses N− type or P− type dopants to form the gate of the JFET. In addition, the structures allow for an improved JFET linkup with buried linkup contacts allowing improved noise and reliability performance for both conventional diffusion (N− and P− channel) JFET structures and for Schottky JFET structures. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the gate poly, as found in a standard CMOS or BiCMOS process flow, is used to perform the linkup between the source and the junction gate and/or between the drain and the junction gate of a junction filed effect transistor (JFET). Use of a bias on the gate linkup of the JFET allows an additional tuning knob for the JFET that can be optimized to trade off breakdown characteristics with reduced on resistance. In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, a patterned buried layer is used to form the back gate control for a junction field effect transistor (JFET). The structure allows a layout or buried layer pattern change to adjust the pinch-off voltage of the JFET structure. Vertical and lateral diffusion of the buried layer is used to adjust the JFET operating parameters with a simple change in the buried layer patterns. In addition, the structures allow for increased breakdown voltage by leveraging charge sharing concepts and improving channel confinement for power JFET structures. These concepts can also be applied to both N− channel and P− channel diffusion JFETs and to Schottky JFET structures.
