摘要:
Techniques for generating enhanced inductors and other electronic devices are presented. A device generator component (DGC) performs directed-self assembly (DSA) co-polymer deposition on a circular guide pattern formed in low-k dielectric film, and DSA annealing to form two polymers in the form of alternating concentric rings; performs a loop cut in the concentric rings to form concentric segments; fills the cut portion with insulator material; selectively removes first polymer, fills the space with low-k dielectric, and planarizes the surface; selectively removes the second polymer, fills the space with conductive material, and planarizes the surface; deposits low-k film on top of the concentric segments and insulator material that filled the loop cut portion; forms vias in the low-k film, wherein each via spans from an end of one segment to an end of another segment; and fills vias with conductive material to form conductive connectors to form substantially spiral conductive structure.

Device and methods are provided for fabricating semiconductor devices in which metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor devices are integrally formed with vertical field effect transistor (FET) devices. For example, a semiconductor device includes first and second vertical FET devices, and a capacitor device, formed in different device regions of a substrate. A gate electrode of the first FET device and a first capacitor electrode of the capacitor device are patterned from a same first layer of conductive material. A gate electrode of the second FET device and a second capacitor electrode of the capacitor device are patterned from a same second layer of conductive material. A gate dielectric layer of the second FET device and a capacitor insulator layer of the capacitor device are formed from a same layer of dielectric material.
