摘要: A device may include a first conductive element and an interlevel dielectric arranged over the first conductive element. The device may further include a dual damascene opening including a first end, a second end, and sidewalls extending between the first and second ends, the sidewalls extending through the interlevel dielectric. A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) stack may line the dual damascene opening. The MIM stack may include a first conductive liner lining the sidewalls and the second end of the dual damascene opening, an insulator layer lining the first conductive liner, and a second conductive liner lining the insulator layer. A first metal interconnect may be disposed in and filling the dual damascene opening lined with the MIM stack.

摘要: A capacitor structure for an integrated circuit (IC) and a related method of forming are disclosed. The capacitor structure includes three electrodes. A planar bottom electrode has a first insulator layer thereover. A middle electrode includes a conductive layer over the first insulator layer and a plurality of spaced conductive pillars contacting the conductive layer. A second insulator layer extends over and between the plurality of spaced conductive pillars and contacts the conductive layer. An upper electrode extends over the second insulator layer, and hence, over and between the plurality of spaced conductive pillars. A length of the upper electrode can be controlled, in part, by the number and dimensions of the conductive pillars to increase capacitance capabilities per area.

摘要: A device and methods for forming the device is provided. The device includes a substrate and circuit elements thereon. The device further includes a metallization layer over the substrate. The metallization layer includes interconnects interconnecting the circuit elements. A test pad is disposed over an uppermost interconnect in the metallization layer. The test pad is coupled to one or more circuit elements via the interconnects. The test pad is configured for testing the one or more circuit elements. A crack stop protection seal surrounding the test pad is provided. The crack stop protection seal confines damage caused by probing at the test pad from propagating to an area beyond the crack stop protection seal.
