    摘要: A technique is described for providing cavities between the conducting paths of an integrated semiconductor circuit. These cavities can have air or a gas trapped therein to decrease the dielectric constant between two conducting paths. After forming the conducting paths, an etchable fill material formed between and over the conducting paths. An oxide cap is formed over the fill material. Conducting plugs, extending through the fill material and the oxide cap, and electrically coupled to the conducting paths are formed. A photo-resist layer applied over the conducting plugs and the oxide cap. The photo-resist layer is structured to permit access to the oxide cap between the conducting plugs. A “pin-hole” is fabricated through the oxide cap and the fill material exposed by the “pin-hole” is etched away. The “pin-hole” is plugged with additional oxide cap material and a surface is then formed on the oxide cap exposing the conducting plugs. This structure is then ready for additional processing.

    摘要: Methods are disclosed for forming vias, trenches, and interconnects through diffusion barrier, etch-stop, and dielectric materials for interconnection of electrical devices in dual damascene structures of a semiconductor device. A buried via mask at the etch-stop level provides openings with two or more adjacent via misalignment error regions merged into rectangular windows aligned orthogonal to a long axis of the underlying conductive features of a first metal level. The rectangular windows used together with openings in a hard mask form via portions, and the openings in the hard mask provide trench portions. Via and trench portions coincide during trench or via etch, as well as during hard mask or etch-stop layer etch together forming an interconnect cavity, which may then be filled with a conductive material to provide a conductive interconnect between the conductive feature of the first metal level and a second metal level.

    摘要: A shielded planar capacitor structure (202) is discussed, formed within a Faraday cage (210) in an integrated circuit device (200). The capacitor structure (202) reduces parasitic capacitances within the integrated circuit device (200). The capacitor (202) comprises a capacitor stack (102) formed between a first and second metal layers (230,232) of the integrated circuit. The capacitor stack (102) has a first conductive layer formed from a third metal layer (106) disposed between the first and second metal layers (230,232) of the integrated circuit, a dielectric isolation layer (110) disposed upon the first conductive layer (106); and a second conductive layer (112) disposed upon the dielectric isolation layer (110) and overlying the first conductive layer (106). The structure (202) further has a first and second isolation layers (104,114) disposed upon opposite sides of the capacitor stack (102). The Faraday cage (210) is formed between the first and second metal layers (230,232) of the integrated circuit (200), comprising a first and second shield layers (402,414) each having a plurality of mutually electrically conductive spaced apart traces (404). The first and second isolation layers (404,414) and the capacitor stack (102,434) are sandwiched between the first and second shield layers (402,414). Conductive elements (432) are distributed around the periphery of the capacitor stack (102,434) and the first and second isolation layers (404,412). The conductive traces (424) of the first shield layer (402) are connected to the conductive traces (424) of the second shield layer (414) through the conductive elements (432).
