    摘要: The present invention is a sidewall connector providing a conductive path linking at least two conductive regions. The sidewall connector has a top portion comprising an outer surface. A conductive member contacts the top portion, connecting the rail to a conductive region or to an external conductor. An etch stop layer located on a conductive region can be used to protect the conductive region during the directional etch to form the sidewall connector. A conductive bridge is then used to link exposed portions of the conductive region and the conductive sidewall rail, the conductive bridge extending across the thickness of the etch stop layer. A "T" connector is formed by the process, starting with a pair of intersecting sidewalls wherein the two sidewalls have top edges at different heights where they intersect. The connector is used to form a strap for a DRAM cell.

    摘要: The present invention relates to metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors and field effect transistors (FETs) formed on a semiconductor substrate. The FETs are formed in Front End of Line (FEOL) levels below the MIM capacitors which are formed in upper Back End of Line (BEOL) levels. An insulator layer is selectively formed to encapsulate at least a top plate of the MIM capacitor to protect the MIM capacitor from damage due to process steps such as, for example, reactive ion etching. By selective formation of the insulator layer on the MIM capacitor, openings in the inter-level dielectric layers are provided so that hydrogen and/or deuterium diffusion to the FETs can occur.

    摘要: A capacitor structure formed on an insulation layer includes a lower electrode formed on a surface of the insulation layer, a dielectric layer formed on a surface of the lower electrode, an upper electrode formed on a surface of the dielectric layer, a first spacer formed on a side portion of the upper electrode, and a second spacer formed on a side portion of the first spacer and a side portion of the lower electrode. This capacitor structure is formed by depositing a metal-insulator-metal capacitor stack on top of a via, masking and etching an upper electrode of the metal-insulator-metal capacitor stack, depositing and etching a first spacer on an edge surface of the upper electrode, defining a lower electrode of the metal-insulator-metal capacitor based on the first spacer, depositing and etching a second spacer on a surface of the first spacer and an edge of the lower electrode, and forming a wiring layer on a surface of the upper electrode and a surface of the second spacer. This capacitor structure provides a capacitor that is not prone to leakage down the capacitor sidewall and the corresponding method of manufacture provides a capacitor that is fabricated with increased efficiency (e.g., fewer mask steps).

    摘要: A varactor circuit having an increased tuning range comprises a first varactor in series with a second varactor between first and second terminals. A resistor is connected between the first and second terminals. A tap of the resistor is connected to a junction of the first and second varactors. This circuit effectively doubles tuning range compared to a single varactor.
