    摘要: Structures for aligning wafers and methods for operating the same. The structure includes (a) a first semiconductor wafer including a first capacitive coupling structure, and (b) a second semiconductor wafer including a second capacitive coupling structure. The first and second semiconductor wafers are in direct physical contact with each other via a common surface. If the first and second semiconductor wafers are moved with respect to each other by a first displacement distance of 1 nm in a first direction while the first and second semiconductor wafers are in direct physical contact with each other via the common surface, then a change of at least 10−18 F in capacitance of a first capacitor comprising the first and second capacitive coupling structures results. The first direction is essentially parallel to the common surface.

    摘要: Methods of fabricating a passive element and a semiconductor device including the passive element are disclosed including the use of a dummy passive element. A dummy passive element is a passive element or wire which is added to the chip layout to aid in planarization but is not used in the active circuit. One embodiment of the method includes forming the passive element and a dummy passive element adjacent to the passive element; forming a dielectric layer over the passive element and the dummy passive element, wherein the dielectric layer is substantially planar between the passive element and the dummy passive element; and forming in the dielectric layer an interconnect to the passive element through the dielectric layer and a dummy interconnect portion overlapping at least a portion of the dummy passive element. The methods eliminate the need for planarizing.

    摘要: A capacitor structure uses an aperture located within a dielectric layer in turn located over a substrate. A pair of conductor interconnection layers embedded within the dielectric layer terminates at a pair of opposite sidewalks of the aperture. A pair of capacitor plates is located upon the pair of opposite sidewalks of the aperture and contacting the pair of conductor interconnection layers, but not filling the aperture. A capacitor dielectric layer is located interposed between the pair of capacitor plates and filling the aperture. The pair of capacitor plates may be formed using an anisotropic unmasked etch followed by a masked trim etch. Alternatively, the pair of capacitor plates may be formed using an unmasked anisotropic etch only, when the pair of opposite sidewalks of the aperture is vertical and separated by a second pair of opposite sidewalks that is outward sloped.

    摘要: A capacitor structure uses an aperture located within a dielectric layer in turn located over a substrate. A pair of conductor interconnection layers embedded within the dielectric layer terminates at a pair of opposite sidewalls of the aperture. A pair of capacitor plates is located upon the pair of opposite sidewalls of the aperture and contacting the pair of conductor interconnection layers, but not filling the aperture. A capacitor dielectric layer is located interposed between the pair of capacitor plates and filling the aperture. The pair of capacitor plates may be formed using an anisotropic unmasked etch followed by a masked trim etch. Alternatively, the pair of capacitor plates may be formed using an unmasked anisotropic etch only, when the pair of opposite sidewalls of the aperture is vertical and separated by a second pair of opposite sidewalls that is outward sloped.
