Abstract:
An orthogonal finger capacitor includes a layer having an anode bone frame adjacent a cathode bone frame, the anode bone frame having a first portion extending along an axis and a second portion extending perpendicular to the axis. A set of anode fingers extends from the first portion. A set of cathode fingers extends from the cathode bone frame, interdigitated with the set of anode fingers. An overlaying layer has another anode bone frame having a first portion parallel to the axis and a perpendicular second portion. A via couples the overlaying anode bone frame to the underlying anode bone frame. The via is located where the first portion of the overlaying anode bone frame overlaps the second portion of the underlying anode bone frame or, optionally, where the second portion of the overlying anode bone frame overlaps the first portion of the underlying anode bone frame.
Abstract:
A complementary back end of line (BEOL) capacitor (CBC) structure includes a metal oxide metal (MOM) capacitor structure. The MOM capacitor structure is coupled to a first upper interconnect layer of an interconnect stack of an integrated circuit (IC) device. The MOM capacitor structure includes a lower interconnect layer of the interconnect stack. The CBC structure also includes a second upper interconnect layer of the interconnect stack coupled to the MOM capacitor structure. The CBC structure also includes a metal insulator metal (MIM) capacitor layer between the first upper interconnect layer and the second upper interconnect layer. In addition, CBC structure also includes a MIM capacitor structure coupled to the MOM capacitor structure. The MIM capacitor structure includes a first capacitor plate having a portion of the first upper interconnect layer, and a second capacitor plate having a portion of the MIM capacitor layer(s).
Abstract:
A FinFET having a backgate and a barrier layer beneath the fin channel of the FinFET, where the barrier layer has a bandgap greater than that of the backgate. The barrier layer serves as an etch stop layer under the fin channel, resulting in reduced fin channel height variation. The backgate provides improved current control. There is less punchthrough due to the higher bandgap barrier layer. The FinFET may also include deeply embedded stressors adjacent to the source/drain diffusions through the high bandgap barrier layer.
