  • Patent number: 8022548
    Abstract: A method of forming one or more capacitors on or in a substrate and a capacitor structure resulting therefrom is disclosed. The method includes forming a trench in the substrate, lining the trench with a first copper-barrier layer, and substantially filling the trench with a first copper layer. The first copper layer is substantially chemically isolated from the substrate by the first copper-barrier layer. A second copper-barrier layer is formed over the first copper layer and a first dielectric layer is formed over the second copper-barrier layer. The dielectric layer is substantially chemically isolated from the first copper layer by the second copper-barrier layer. A third copper-barrier layer is formed over the dielectric layer and a second copper layer is formed over the third copper-barrier layer. The second copper layer is formed in a non-damascene process.

  • Patent number: 7776705
    Abstract: A method of forming one or more inductors on a substrate is disclosed. The method includes forming a first dielectric material over the substrate, forming a trench in the first dielectric material, and substantially filling the trench with copper to form the one or more inductors. The first dielectric material is removed and a second dielectric material is formed over the copper. The second dielectric material is removed from an uppermost portion of the copper, thus leaving a portion of the second dielectric material on the sidewalls of the copper.
