    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly reliable chip-on-capacitor. SOLUTION: The capacitor (94) in a semiconductor device (20) has a lower copper plate (30) in a damascene/trench (22), barrier layers (56, 180a) disposed above the lower plate, a dielectric layer (60) disposed above the barrier layers and an upper plate (96) above the dielectric layer. Another embodiment of this invention is capacitors (296, 396) in a semiconductor device, which has two lower plates (230, 231, 330, 331) mutually separated, dielectric layers (260, 360) above the lower plate and upper plates (296, 396) above the dielectric layer which covers the lower plate, extends preferably across it. This invention further includes a method for manufacturing the capacitor of such a constitution.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metallic capacitor which is provided inside a metal layer on a semiconductor chip. SOLUTION: A lower plate of a capacitor is provided between an insulation layer and a dielectric layer. An insulation layer is disposed adjacent to a metallization layer, and a dielectric layer separates a lower plate of a capacitor from the upper plate of the capacitor. The shoulder part of a lower plate is adjacent to it and brought into contact with a via filled with copper. Although a via extends upward to a common surface of the upper plate, it is electrically isolated from an upper plate. A via also extends downward toward a metallization layer. This structure is formed by a copper dual-damascene process.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a precision circuit element and a method of forming it. SOLUTION: The circuit element is formed as one part of an integrated circuit assembly. The process of the circuit element provides a nominal value of the circuit element that is near to a desired value. An additional trim circuit element is coupled through a link to the nominal circuit element. The Link is a fusible link or an anti fuse. By fusing and cutting the fusible link selectively or by adding or reducing the trim circuit element by fusing the anti fuse, the nominal value of the circuit element is individuated. In a typical example, a capacitor is used.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interconnecting level capacitor structure and a forming method thereof. SOLUTION: The capacitor structure comprises a first insulating layer disposed on an interconnecting level surface of an integrated circuit, first and second conductors which are formed in the first insulating layer and are isolated by a trench delimited by the first insulating layer, a first conductive barrier layer which is disposed on the first and second conductors and connects the first and second conductors, a second insulting layer disposed on the first conductive barrier layer, a second conductive barrier layer disposed on the second insulating layer, and a third conductor which is disposed in the trench and on the second conductive barrier layer. A capacitance is increased by using regions on a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side surface of the capacitor structure. It is possible to obtain an on-cap decoupling capacitor having a larger size without sacrificing a precious silicon space.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve adhesiveness of a deposited inorganic barrier film to a copper surface of a copper interconnection structure by including exposure of a copper layer in an interconnected semiconductor structure to a reducing plasma before the formation of the inorganic barrier film on the copper interconnection structure. SOLUTION: A copper interconnection structure is exposed to a reducing plasma before an inorganic barrier film 24 is deposited. This reducing plasma is a non-oxidizing, i.e., oxygen-atom-free plasma atmosphere. A suitable plasma is selected from H2, N2, NH3, and rare gas, but it is not limited to these. Further, a combination of more than two of these reducing plasmas such as N2 and H2 is intended. N2 and NH3 are very preferable among these reducing plasmas. The adhesiveness of the inorganic barrier layer 24 to copper 20 can be improved by using this reducing plasma exposure process.

    Abstract: Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) structures, methods of manufacture and design structures are provided. The method of forming a MEMS structure includes forming fixed actuator electrodes (115) and a contact point on a substrate. The method further includes forming a MEMS beam (100) over the fixed actuator electrodes and the contact point. The method further includes forming an array of actuator electrodes (105') in alignment with portions of the fixed actuator electrodes, which are sized and dimensioned to prevent the MEMS beam from collapsing on the fixed actuator electrodes after repeating cycling. The array of actuator electrodes are formed in direct contact with at least one of an underside of the MEMS beam and a surface of the fixed actuator electrodes.

    Abstract: A chip includes a CMOS structure having a bulk device (20) disposed in a first region (24) of a semiconductor substrate (50) in conductive communication with an underlying bulk region (18) of the substrate, the first region (24) and the bulk region (20) having a first crystal orientation. A SOI device (10) is disposed in a semiconductor-on-insulator ("SOI") layer (14) separated from the bulk region of the substrate by a buried dielectric layer (16), the SOI layer having a different crystal orientation from the first crystal orientation. In one example, the bulk device includes a p-type field effect transistor ("PFET") and the SOI device includes an n-type field effect transistor ("NFET") device. Alternatively, the bulk device can include an NFET and the SOI device can include a PFET. When the SOI device has a gate conductor (11) in conductive communication with a gate conductor (21) of the bulk device, charging damage can occur to the SOI device, except for the presence of diodes in reverse-biased conductive communication with the bulk region. The diodes are operable to conduct a discharge current to the bulk region when either a voltage on the gate conductor or a voltage on the source or drain region of the SOI device exceeds a diode's breakdown voltage.
