In order to increase the capacitance density of capacitors, silicon capacitors can usually be fabricated based on a three-dimensional structure with a high aspect ratio. However, the high aspect ratio three-dimensional structure itself is difficult to process, and the production of conformal, uniform thickness and defect-free conductive layers and dielectric layers on this three-dimensional structure also requires an extremely high level of technology. How to prepare small-volume, high-capacity, and low-cost capacitors has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
下面将结合附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
应理解,本申请实施例的电容器在电路中可以起到旁路、滤波、去耦等作用。It should be understood that the capacitors in the embodiments of the present application can perform functions such as bypassing, filtering, and decoupling in the circuit.
借助于先进的半导体加工工艺,制作超薄型、高可靠性的电容器已经成为可能。为了提高容值密度,现有硅电容一般采用多层堆叠的技术方案。通过在高深宽比(High aspect ratio)的三维(3D)结构(例如,凹槽,凸台等)表面制作垂直堆叠的2-3个电容器,再利用金属互联结构将多个电容并联。然而,高深宽比的三维结构本身的加工难度较大,而且在此三维结构上制作共形的、厚度均匀且没有缺陷的导电层、电介质层也需要极高的工艺水准,加工成本因此较为昂贵。With the help of advanced semiconductor processing technology, it has become possible to produce ultra-thin, high-reliability capacitors. In order to increase the capacitance density, existing silicon capacitors generally adopt a multi-layer stacking technical solution. By fabricating vertically stacked 2-3 capacitors on the surface of a high aspect ratio three-dimensional (3D) structure (for example, grooves, bosses, etc.), a metal interconnection structure is used to connect multiple capacitors in parallel. However, the high aspect ratio three-dimensional structure itself is more difficult to process, and the production of conformal, uniform thickness and defect-free conductive layers and dielectric layers on this three-dimensional structure also requires a very high level of technology, and the processing cost is therefore relatively expensive. .
在此背景下,本申请提出了一种新型的电容器的结构和制作方法,通过在平坦的衬底表面制作多个导电薄膜和电介质薄膜的交替叠层,并最终实现奇数导电层的互连和偶数导电层的互连。由于避免了3D结构相关的刻蚀、沉积等昂贵工艺,且通过光刻胶修整(Photoresist Trimming)工艺有效减少了光刻次数,从而能够在制备小体积、高容值密度的电容器的同时降低电容器成本。In this context, this application proposes a new type of capacitor structure and manufacturing method, by fabricating multiple alternating layers of conductive films and dielectric films on a flat substrate surface, and finally realize the interconnection and interconnection of odd-numbered conductive layers. Interconnection of even-numbered conductive layers. Because expensive processes such as etching and deposition related to the 3D structure are avoided, and the photoresist trimming process is used to effectively reduce the number of photolithography, it is possible to reduce the capacitors while preparing small-volume, high-capacitance-density capacitors cost.
