Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an MIM capacitor device and a method for manufacturing it. SOLUTION: This device includes: an upper plate which comprises one or more conductive layers and has an upper surface, a lower surface and a side wall; a spreader plate which comprises one or more conductive layers and has an upper surface, a lower surface and a side wall; and a dielectric block which comprises one or more dielectric layers and has an upper surface, a lower surface and a side wall. The upper surface of the dielectric block is physically in contact with the lower surface of the upper plate. The lower surface of the dielectric block is above the upper surface of the spreader plate. The side wall of the upper plate and the dielectric block is essentially coplanar.

Abstract:
A method of forming a diffusion region in a silicon substrate having low-resistance, acceptable defect density, reliability and process control comprising the steps of: (a) subjecting a silicon substrate to a first ion implantation step, said first ion implantation step being conducted under conditions such that a region of amorphized Si is formed in said silicon substrate; (b) subjecting said silicon substrate containing said region of amorphized Si to a second ion implantation step, said second ion implantation step being carried out by implanting a dopant ion into said silicon substrate under conditions such that the peak of implant of said dopant ion is within the region of amorphized Si; and (c) annealing said silicon substrate under conditions such that said region of amorphized Si is re-crystallized thereby forming a diffusion region in said silicon substrate is provided.
