摘要:
Embodiments of MIM capacitors may be embedded into a thick IMD layer with enough thickness (e.g., 10 KŘ30 KÅ) to get high capacitance, which may be on top of a thinner IMD layer. MIM capacitors may be formed among three adjacent metal layers which have two thick IMD layers separating the three adjacent metal layers. Materials such as TaN or TiN are used as bottom/top electrodes & Cu barrier. The metal layer above the thick IMD layer may act as the top electrode connection. The metal layer under the thick IMD layer may act as the bottom electrode connection. The capacitor may be of different shapes such as cylindrical shape, or a concave shape. Many kinds of materials (Si3N4, ZrO2, HfO2, BST . . . etc) can be used as the dielectric material. The MIM capacitors are formed by one or two extra masks while forming other non-capacitor logic of the circuit.

A system-on-chip (SOC) device comprises a first capacitor in a first region, a second capacitor in a second region, and may further comprise a third capacitor in a third region, and any additional number of capacitors in additional regions. The capacitors may be of different shapes and sizes. A region may comprise more than one capacitor. Each capacitor in a region has a top electrode, a bottom electrode, and a capacitor insulator. The top electrodes of all the capacitors are formed in a common process, while the bottom electrodes of all the capacitors are formed in a common process. The capacitor insulator may have different number of sub-layers, formed with different materials or different thickness. The capacitors may be formed in an inter-layer dielectric layer or in an inter-metal dielectric layer. The regions may be a mixed signal region, an analog region, a radio frequency region, a dynamic random access memory region, and so forth.

A device includes an embedded MIM capacitor and a transistor formed in parallel with reduced processing steps and improved device performance in different regions of a substrate. The embedded MIM capacitor has a bottom electrode, an insulator layer, a dielectric film, and a top electrode. The substrate has an insulator region. The bottom electrode, having a first conductor, overlies the insulator region. The insulator layer overlies the substrate and the bottom electrode. The insulator layer has an opening connecting parts of the bottom electrode. The dielectric film lines the opening, and is disposed directly on the bottom electrode and sidewalls of the opening. The top electrode, having a second conductor, overlies the dielectric film in the opening. The dielectric film lines sidewalls and bottom of the top electrode.

A method of forming a metal-insulator-metal capacitor has the following steps. A stack dielectric structure is formed by alternately depositing a plurality of second dielectric layers and a plurality of third dielectric layers. A wet etch selectivity of the second dielectric layer relative to said third dielectric layer is of at least 5:1. An opening is formed in the stack dielectric structure, and then a wet etch process is employed to remove relatively-large portions of the second dielectric layers and relatively-small portions of the third dielectric layers to form a plurality of lateral recesses in the second dielectric layers along sidewalls of the opening. A bottom electrode layer is formed to extend along the serrate sidewalls, a capacitor dielectric layer is formed on the bottom electrode layer, and a top electrode layer is formed on the capacitor dielectric layer.

An embedded semiconductor product employs a first isolation trench and first isolation region formed therein adjoining a logic cell active region of a semiconductor substrate. The embedded semiconductor product also employs a second isolation trench and second isolation region formed therein adjoining a memory cell active region of the semiconductor substrate. The second isolation trench is deeper than the first isolation trench such that a storage capacitor whose capacitor plate is embedded at least in part within the second isolation region may be formed with enhanced capacitance.
