    摘要: The present invention discloses a novel integrated circuit capacitor and a method of forming such a capacitor. The capacitor formation begins with a base electrode 18 adjacent an insulating region 26. This base electrode 18 can comprise either polysilicon or a metal. A layer 28 of a first material, such as a siliciding metal, is formed over the base electrode 18 as well as the adjacent insulating region. A self-aligned capacitor electrode 12 can then be formed by reacting the first material 28 with the base electrode 18 and removing unreacted portions of the first material 28 from the insulating region 26. The capacitor is then completed by forming a dielectric layer 16 over the self-aligned capacitor electrode 12 and a second capacitor electrode 14 over the dielectric layer 16.

    摘要: An embodiment of the instant invention is a method of providing a connection between a first conductor and a second conductor wherein the first conductor is situated under the second conductor and separated by a first insulating layer, the method comprising the steps of: forming an opening in the first insulating layer (layer 124 or 128 of FIGS. 1-4), the opening having a top, a bottom and sidewalls and is situated between the first conductor and the second conductor; forming a second insulating layer (layer 134, 138, and 142 of FIGS. 3 and 4) exclusively on the sidewalls of the opening thereby leaving a smaller opening in the first insulating layer; forming a conductive material (material 140 of FIGS. 3 and 4) in the smaller opening; and wherein the first insulating layer is comprised of a low-k material and the second insulating layer is comprised of an insulator which has electrical leakage properties which are less than the electrical leakage properties of the first insulating layer.

The conductor layers exist at an outside position of the memory cell portion such as in the peripheral circuit portion, and the thickness of portions of the conductor layers constituting the first level interconnect conductors of the peripheral circuit portion is greater than the thickness of portions of the conductor layers constituting the bit line conductors. A position at which a transistor for selectively connecting the memory cell portion and the peripheral circuit portion is formed may be a boundary, or a position inside a boundary region between the memory cell portion and the peripheral circuit portion may be a boundary, where the thickness change is effected.

    摘要: A dual damascene process. After the via etch, a via protect layer (114) is deposited in the via (112). The via protect layer (114) comprises a material that has a dry etch rate at least equal to that of the IMD (108) and a wet etch rate that is approximately 100 times that of the IMD (108) or greater. Exemplary materials include PSG, BPSG, and HSQ. The trench pattern (120) is formed and both the via protect layer (114) and IMD (108) are etched. The remaining portions of the via protect layer (114) are then removed prior to forming the metal layer (122).
