    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method, and more particularly to a semiconductor interposer device. The semiconductor interposer device includes a substrate and a first metallization layer formed on the substrate. A first dielectric layer is formed on the first metallization layer and a second metallization layer is formed on the substrate. A first conducting line is formed in the first metallization layer and second and third conducting lines are formed in the second metallization layer. A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor is formed in the first dielectric layer and over the first conducting line. The MIM capacitor includes (i) a top capacitor electrode in the first dielectric layer and electrically coupled to the second conducting line; (ii) a bottom capacitor electrode in the first dielectric layer and above the first conducting line, wherein the bottom capacitor electrode is configured to be electrically floating; and (iii) a second dielectric layer between the top and bottom capacitor electrodes.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a clock tree structure disposed on a semiconductor substrate. The clock tree structure includes a first clock line having a first line width and being arranged at a first height as measured from an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate. The clock tree structure also includes a second clock line having a second line width, which differs from the first line width. The second clock line is arranged at a second height as measured from the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate and the second height is equal to the first height. The first line width can be directly proportional to a first current level for the first clock line and the second line width can be directly proportional to a second current level for the second clock line.

    Abstract: A method for circuit design includes a parasitic aware library embedded with one or more parameterized cells. The parasitic aware library is used to insert nets representing some but not all parasitic effects of a circuit into a circuit schematic enabling a single circuit schematic to be used for simulation of the circuit, parasitic verification of the circuit and LVS (Layout Versus Schematic) check. Only the single circuit schematic is required for the circuit design process and to form a mask set. Critical paths of the single circuit schematic are identified and parasitic effects are extracted and inserted into the schematic, enabling a pre-estimation of parasitic verification to be carried out and the LVS check to be carried out using a circuit schematic with some parasitic effects prior to the post-layout simulation in which all parasitic components of the layout are included.
