る。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a MIM capacitor of this type, for example, Ti (titanium) / Au (gold) / T
Using a deposited film of i, a nitride film of Si (silicon) for the dielectric layer, and a film of Ti / Pt (platinum) / Au for the upper metal, formed on the compound semiconductor substrate with the dielectric layer between the lower metal and the upper metal Something was done. When the MIM capacitor having such a structure is used to ground the source electrode of, for example, a GaAs-based MESFET used as an active element of the MMIC, for example, a circuit as shown in FIG. 5 and a layout pattern as shown in FIG. Becomes 5 and 6, a metal wiring 10 serving as a source wiring of the FET 100 is formed.
The MIM capacitor 102 is formed using the metal wiring 101 drawn out from the middle of the MIM 1 as a lower metal electrode, and the upper metal electrode 103 of the MIM capacitor 102 is wire-bonded via a bonding pad 104 and grounded.

For example, when ball bonding is performed using a bonding wire having a diameter of 25 μmφ, a pad diameter of 75 μmφ or more and a clearance of 150 μmφ or more are required, and other elements cannot be formed in these areas. Therefore,
In order to form a circuit as shown in FIG. 5, a formation region of the MIM capacitor 102, a formation region of the bonding pad 104, and a clearance region therebetween are required as shown in FIG. Was. Therefore, as the circuit configuration shown in FIG. 5 increases, the area of the entire circuit increases, the chip area also increases, the cost per chip of the expensive compound semiconductor substrate increases, and it is difficult to reduce the size of the package.

A dielectric layer 3 made of, for example, a nitride film of Si is formed by a CVD method, and an upper metal layer 4 made of, for example, Ti / Pt / Au is formed on the dielectric layer 3 by vapor deposition. Further, a buffer layer 5 made of, for example, Ti @ Au is formed on the upper metal layer 4 in a thickness of the order of 10 μm. The buffer layer 5 has a function of alleviating the shock at the time of bonding, and the relatively soft Au of the buffer layer 5 is crushed by the pressure at the time of bonding, so that the shock to the dielectric layer 3 at the time of bonding is moderated. And the dielectric layer 5 is formed by bonding.
The occurrence of troubles such as cracks is prevented. The buffer layer 5 has a cylindrical basic structure as shown in FIG. 2A, and as an applied structure, for example, a concave and convex structure as shown in FIG. 2B, or as shown in FIG. The same effect can be obtained by using a pillar-shaped uneven structure or a ring-shaped uneven structure as shown in FIG. On the buffer layer 5, a flat layer 6 made of, for example, Ti\Au is formed. Using the flat layer 6 as a bonding pad, a wire 7 connected to the ground is directly wire-bonded to the flat layer 6. Note that the buffer layer 5 may be directly bonded to the buffer layer 5 by using the buffer layer 5 as a bonding pad without forming the flat layer 6.

積の縮小面積も大きくなる。As described above, the first metal electrode of the MIM capacitor is grounded by directly bonding to the buffer layer 5 or the flat layer 6 provided above the region where the MIM capacitor is formed in the vertical direction. The area required for this can be greatly reduced as compared with the related art. For example, when ball bonding is performed on a MIM capacitor having an area of 150 μm × 150 μm with a wire diameter of 25 μm, the conventional layout pattern shown in FIG.
Although 31000Myuemu 2 about an area including the clearance had become necessary, in the structure of the above embodiment, it becomes 22500Myuemu 2 about the formation area of the MIM capacitor, 8500Myuemu 2 also reduce the chip area as compared with the conventional it can. This is M
This is the reduced area per IM capacitor. As the number of MIM capacitors requiring grounding increases, the reduced area of the chip area also increases.
