摘要:
An electronic circuit includes a substrate. A capacitor and at least one semiconductor component are supported by a surface of the substrate. A substantially planar screen, oriented parallel to the surface of the substrate and made of metallic material, is placed between the capacitor and the semiconductor component. Preferably, the semiconductor component is placed in proximity to the surface of the substrate and several superposed layers of insulating material cover the surface of the substrate and the semiconductor component. The capacitor is then placed within at least one layer of insulating material above the semiconductor component, and the screen is placed within an intermediate layer of insulating material between the layer incorporating the capacitor and the surface of the substrate.

An electronic circuit comprises a substrate (100), a capacitor (11) and at least one semiconductor component (10) which are supported by a surface (S) of the substrate. A substantially plane screen (12), parallel to the surface of the substrate and made of metallic material, is furthermore placed between the capacitor and the semiconductor component. Preferably, the semiconductor component is placed in proximity to the surface (S) of the substrate and several superposed layers (1-6) of insulating material cover the surface of the substrate and the semiconductor component. The capacitor is then placed within at least one layer (5) of insulating material above the semiconductor component, and the screen (12) is placed within an intermediate layer (4) of insulating material between the layer incorporating the capacitor and the surface (S) of the substrate.

An integrated circuit fuse includes a substantially bar-shaped central region and zones having electrical contacts. The central region includes a thinned zone forming a weak point facilitating fusing of the fuse by increasing the local current density as compared to standard fusing conditions. The thinned zone is preferably obtained by proximity optical effect between the fuse and adjacent dummy elements.
摘要:
A capacitor fabricated, within an integrated circuit, has at least two capacitive trenches extending within a dielectric material. A metal layer is produced which is embedded in the dielectric material. To form the capacitor, the dielectric material is etched, with etching stopped at the metal layer so as to form the trenches. A layer of conductive material forming the lower electrode of the capacitor is then deposited at least on the sidewalls of the trenches and in contact with the metal layer. A dielectric layer is then deposited within the trenches. A layer of conductive material forming the upper electrode of the capacitor is then deposited within the trenches.

A process for producing an integrated electronic circuit comprises the production of a first electronic component and a second electronic component that are superposed on top of a substrate. A volume of temporary material is formed on the substrate at the position of the second electronic component. The first electronic component is then produced above the volume of temporary material relative to the substrate, and then the second electronic component is produced using at least one shaft for access to the temporary material. The first electronic component may be an active component and the second electronic component may be a passive component.
摘要:
An integrated circuit fuse is formed on a substrate by etching a polysilicon, metal or alloy layer deposited thereon to include a central region, at the end of which are zones with electrical contacts. The central region has at least two first electrically parallel arms. A zone of intersection of the first two arms forms a point for focusing a fusing current which facilitates the fusing of the fuse by increasing local current density flowing through the integrated circuit.

摘要:
An integrated circuit includes at least one capacitor that is formed on a layer provided with at least one first trench. The capacitor, which is provided with a dielectric layer that separates two electrodes, conforms to the shape of the first trench, but leaves a part of the first trench unfilled. A material capable of absorbing stresses associated with the displacements of the walls of the trench is placed in the trench to fill the part of the first trench. A second trench is formed at least partly surrounding the first trench. This second trench is also at least partly filled with a material capable of absorbing stresses associated with the displacements of the walls of the second trench. A void may be included in the stress absorbing material which fills either of the first or second trenches.

A manufacturing process for a capacitor in an interconnection layer includes the following stages: Deposit of a first metallic layer (21); Deposit of a first insulator layer (31) on the first metallic layer (21); Deposit of a second metallic layer (41) on the first insulator layer (31); Formation of an upper electrode (4) in the second layer metallic (41); Deposit of a second insulator layer (13) covering the upper electrode (4); Etching of the second insulator layer to form a spacer (14) on this first insulator layer surrounding the upper electrode (4); then Formation of a lower electrode (2) and a dielectric (3) by removal of parts from the first metallic layer and insulator not covered by the upper electrode (4) or the spacer (14); and Formation of an interconnection line (5). This process allows for manufacturing capacitors with an increased performance, in a simplified fashion at lower cost and with an auto-alignment.
摘要:
The method for forming the microelectronic device having at least one two or three dimensional capacitor includes creating, on a substrate, a plurality of components and a number of superimposed metal interconnection levels. An insulating layer is formed above a metal interconnection level, and a horizontal metal zone of a next metal interconnection level in which one or more of the insulating blocks created from this insulating layer are incorporated is formed therein. The zone is designed to form a lower structural part of the capacitor.
