Abstract: Bulk acoustic wave filters and/or bulk acoustic resonators integrated with CMOS processes, methods of manufacture and design structures are disclosed. The method includes forming at least one beam (44) comprising amorphous silicon material (29) and providing an insulator material (32) over and adjacent to the amorphous silicon beam. The method further includes forming a via (50) through the insulator material and exposing a material (25) underlying the amorphous silicon beam (44). The method further includes providing a sacrificial material (36) in the via and over the amorphous silicon beam. The method further includes providing a lid (38) on the sacrificial material and over the insulator material. The method further includes venting, through the lid (vent hole 40), the sacrificial material and the underlying material to form an upper cavity (42a) above the amorphous silicon beam and a lower cavity (42b) below the amorphous silicon beam, respectively.

Abstract: Micro-electro-mechanical structure (MEMS) capacitor devices, capacitor trimming for MEMS capacitor devices, and design structures are disclosed. The method includes identifying a process variation related to a formation of micro-electro-mechanical structure (MEMS) capacitor devices across a substrate. The method further includes providing design offsets or process offsets in electrode areas of the MEMS capacitor devices across the substrate, based on the identified process variation.

The method includes identifying a process variation related to a formation of micro-electroÂmechanical structure (MEMS) capacitor devices across a substrate. The method further includes providing design offsets or process offsets in electrode areas of the MEMS capacitor devices across the substrate, based on the identified process variation. This method compensates for the variance in capacitance during fabrication of the MEMS capacitors across an array of capacitors on a single substrate.

Abstract: The composite beam 34 comprises multiple layers of metal and metal oxide. A single anisotropic reactive ion etch step is used to ensure that the edges of the beam layers are self aligned. Sacrificial oxide material 44 from around the beam is removed via the vent 48 using HF or xenon difluoride etchant. The MEMS beam may be used in a MEMS switch for mode switching of power amplifiers or analogue and mixed signal applications.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit structure forms a first opening in a substrate (100; Figure 1) and lines the first opening with a protective liner. (102) The method deposits a material into the first opening (104) and forms a protective material over the substrate. The protective material includes a process control mark and includes a second opening above, and aligned with, the first opening. (108) The method removes the material from the first opening through the second opening in the protective material. (110) The process control mark comprises a recess within the protective material that extends only partially through the protective material, such that portions of the substrate below the process control mark are not affected by the process of removing the material.

Abstract: A metal capacitor is formed as part of metal dual damascene process in the making of a wafer. A lower plate (27) of the capacitor is sandwiched between an insulating layer (25) and a dielectric layer (29). The insulating layer on an opposite side abuts a layer of metallization (23, 24) and the dielectric layer separates the lower plate of the capacitor from an upper plate (59) of the capacitor. A portion (27A) of the lower plate projects into a via (37) adjacent to it that is filled with copper (63) and possibly a barrier layer (51A). The via projects up to a common surface with the upper plate but is electrically isolated from the upper plate. The via also extends down to the layer of metallization. The capacitor may include a high-k dielectric. Methods of making the capacitor are described.
