摘要: An integrated circuit includes a capacitor located over a semiconductor substrate. The capacitor includes a first conductive layer having a first lateral perimeter, and a second conductive layer having a second smaller lateral perimeter. A first dielectric layer is located between the second conductive layer and the first conductive layer. The first dielectric layer has a thinner portion having the first lateral perimeter and a thicker portion having the second lateral perimeter. An interconnect line is located over the substrate, and includes a third conductive layer that is about coplanar with and has about a same thickness as the first conductive layer. A second dielectric layer is located over the third conductive layer. The second dielectric layer is about coplanar with and has about a same thickness as the thinner portion of the first dielectric layer.

摘要: A microelectronic device includes a capacitor having a lower plate of interconnect metal, a capacitor dielectric layer with a lower silicon dioxide layer, a silicon oxy-nitride layer, and an upper silicon dioxide layer, and an upper plate over the capacitor dielectric layer. The silicon oxy-nitride layer has an average index of refraction of 1.85 to 1.95 at a wavelength of 248 nanometers. To form the microelectronic device, the lower silicon dioxide layer, the silicon oxy-nitride layer, and the upper silicon dioxide layer are formed in sequence over an interconnect metal layer. The upper plate is formed, leaving the lower silicon dioxide layer, the silicon oxy-nitride layer, and at least a portion of the upper silicon dioxide layer over the interconnect metal layer. An interconnect mask is formed of photoresist over the upper plate and the silicon oxy-nitride layer, using the silicon oxy-nitride layer as an anti-reflection layer.

摘要: A microelectronic device includes a capacitor having a lower plate of interconnect metal, a capacitor dielectric layer with a lower silicon dioxide layer, a silicon oxy-nitride layer, and an upper silicon dioxide layer, and an upper plate over the upper silicon dioxide layer. The silicon oxy-nitride layer has an average index of refraction of 1.60 to 1.75 at a wavelength of 248 nanometers. To form the microelectronic device, the lower silicon dioxide layer, the silicon oxy-nitride layer, and the upper silicon dioxide layer are formed in sequence over an interconnect metal layer. An upper plate layer is patterned to form the upper plate, leaving the lower silicon dioxide layer and at least half of the silicon oxy-nitride layer over the interconnect metal layer. An interconnect mask is formed of photoresist over the upper plate and the silicon oxy-nitride layer, using the silicon oxy-nitride layer as an anti-reflection layer.

摘要: A method of fabricating integrated circuits (ICs) includes depositing a dielectric liner layer on a substrate including a semiconductor surface having a plurality of IC die formed therein each including functional circuitry including a plurality of interconnected transistors. A thin film resistor (TFR) layer including chromium (Cr) is deposited on the dielectric liner layer. The substrate is loaded into a hardmask layer deposition tool that includes a plasma source. The TFR layer is in-situ plasma pre-treated including flowing at least one inert gas and at least one oxidizing gas while in the hardmask layer deposition tool. A hardmask layer is deposited after the plasma pre-treating while remaining in the hardmask layer deposition tool. A pattern is formed on the hardmask layer, and the hardmask layer and TFR layer are etched stopping in the dielectric liner layer to form at least one resistor from the defined TFR layer.
