    摘要: An optical interposer includes grooves (310) for optical fiber cables (104) coupled to a transducer (120). The grooves are formed by etching a cavity (410) in a substrate (130), filling the cavity with some layer (520), then etching the layer to form the grooves. The cavity has outwardly sloped sidewalls on which mirrors (144) are later formed. The groove etch is selective not to damage the sidewalls. The groove depth is uniform due to high etch selectivity of the layer, and also because of good control over the cavity etch due to the low aspect ratio of the cavity. Electrical circuitry for connection to the transducer is fabricated after the cavity filling but before the groove etch. The cavity filling leaves the wafer planar, facilitating fabrication of the electrical circuitry. Grooves can be provided on top and bottom of the interposer. Other features are also provided.

    摘要: A portion of a conductive layer (310, 910) provides a capacitor electrode (310.0, 910.0). Dielectric trenches (410, 414, 510) are formed in the conductive layer to insulate the capacitor electrode from those portions of the conductive layer which are used for conductive paths passing through the electrode but insulated from the electrode. Capacitor dielectric (320) can be formed by anodizing tantalum while a nickel layer (314) protects an underlying copper (310) from the anodizing solution. This protection allows the tantalum layer to be made thin to obtain large capacitance. Chemical mechanical polishing of a layer (610) is made faster, and hence possibly less expensive, by first patterning the layer photolithographically to form, and/or increase in height, upward protrusions of this layer.

    摘要: A through via contains a conductor (244, 262) passing through a substrate (140). The substrate can be SOI or some other substrate containing two semiconductor layers (140.1, 140.2) on opposite sides of an insulating layer (140B). The through via includes two constituent vias (144.1, 144.2) formed from respective different sides of the substrate by processes stopping on the insulating layer (140B). Due to the insulating layer acting as a stop layer, high control over the constituent vias' depths is achieved. Each constituent via is shorter than the through via, so via formation is facilitated. The conductor is formed by separate depositions of conductive material into the constituent vias from each side of the substrate. From each side, the conductor is deposited to a shallower depth than the through-via depth, so the deposition is facilitated. Other embodiments are also provided.
