    摘要: A three-dimensional micro- electromechanical (MEM) varactor is described wherein a movable beam and fixed electrode are respectively fabricated on separate substrates coupled to each other. The movable beam with comb-drive electrodes are fabricated on the “chip side” while the fixed bottom electrode is fabricated on a separated substrate “carrier side”. Upon fabrication of the device on both surfaces of the substrate, the chip side device is diced and “flipped over”, aligned and joined to the “carrier” substrate to form the final device. Comb-drive (fins) electrodes are used for actuation while the motion of the electrode provides changes in capacitance. Due to the constant driving forces involved, a large capacitance tuning range can be obtained. The three dimensional aspect of the device avails large surface area. When large aspect ratio features are provided, a lower actuation voltage can be used. Upon fabrication, the MEMS device is completely encapsulated, requiring no additional packaging of the device. Further, since alignment and bonding can be done on a wafer scale (wafer scale MEMS packaging), an improved device yield can be obtained at a lower cost.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a capacitor with inter-digitated vertical plates and a method of forming the capacitor such that the effective gap distance between plates is reduced. This gap width reduction significantly increases the capacitance density of the capacitor. Gap width reduction is accomplished during back end of the line processing by masking connecting points with nodes, by etching the dielectric material from between the vertical plates and by etching a sacrificial material from below the vertical plates. Etching of the dielectric material from between the plates forms air gaps and various techniques can be used to cause the plates to collapse in on these air gaps, once the sacrificial material is removed. Any remaining air gaps can be filled by depositing a second dielectric material (e.g., a high k dielectric), which will further increase the capacitance density and will encapsulate the capacitor in order to make the reduced distance between the vertical plates permanent.

    摘要: A method for forming a transmission line structure for a semiconductor device includes forming an interlevel dielectric layer over a first metallization level, removing a portion of the interlevel dielectric layer and forming a sacrificial material within one or more voids created by the removal of the portion of the interlevel dielectric layer. A signal transmission line is formed in a second metallization level formed over the interlevel dielectric layer, the signal transmission line being disposed over the sacrificial material. A portion of dielectric material included within the second metallization level is removed so as to expose the sacrificial material, wherein a portion of the sacrificial material is exposed through a plurality of access holes formed through the signal transmission line. The sacrificial material is removed so as to create an air gap beneath the signal transmission line.
