Abstract:
A multi-terminal inductor and method for forming the multi-terminal inductor are provided. In some embodiments, an interconnect structure is arranged over a semiconductor substrate. A passivation layer is arranged over the interconnect structure. A first magnetic layer is arranged over the passivation layer, and a conductive wire laterally extends from a first input/output (I/O) bond structure at a first location to a second I/O bond structure at a second location. A third I/O bond structure branches off of the conductive wire at a third location between the first location and the second location. A connection between the third I/O bond structure and the first I/O bond structure has a first inductance. Alternatively, a connection between the first I/O bond structure and the second I/O bond structure has a second inductance different than the first inductance.

A device includes a dielectric layer, an interlayer metal pad in the dielectric layer, a first capacitor over the interlayer metal pad, and a second capacitor over the dielectric layer. The first capacitor includes a first bottom capacitor electrode over and in contact with the interlayer metal pad, a first top capacitor electrode, and a first inter-electrode dielectric layer between the first bottom capacitor electrode and the first top capacitor electrode. The second capacitor includes a second bottom capacitor electrode over and in contact with the dielectric layer, a second top capacitor electrode, and a second inter-electrode dielectric layer between the second bottom capacitor electrode and the second top capacitor electrode.

An integrated circuit includes a stacked MIM capacitor and a thin film resistor and methods of fabricating the same are disclosed. A capacitor bottom metal in one capacitor of the stacked MIM capacitor and the thin film resistor are substantially at the same layer of the integrated circuit, and the capacitor bottom metal and the thin film resistor are also made of substantially the same materials. The integrated circuit with both of a stacked MIM capacitor and a thin film resistor can be made in a cost benefit way accordingly, so as to overcome disadvantages mentioned above.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate having a trap-rich layer, with crystal defects, which is disposed within a handle wafer, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the SOI substrate has a handle wafer. A trap-rich layer, having a plurality of crystal defects that act to trap carriers, is disposed within the handle wafer at a position abutting a top surface of the handle wafer. An insulating layer is disposed onto the handle wafer. The insulating layer has a first side abutting the top surface of the handle wafer and an opposing second side abutting a thin layer of active silicon. By forming the trap-rich layer within the handle wafer, fabrication costs associated with depositing a trap-rich material (e.g., polysilicon) onto a handle wafer are reduced and thermal instability issues are prevented.
