  • Publication number: 20230320227
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure is provided. The method may include several operations. A piezoelectric capacitor is formed over a substrate, wherein the piezoelectric capacitor includes a metal electrode. An intermediate layer is formed on the metal electrode, and is patterned using a first mask layer as a mask. A metal layer is formed on the intermediate layer, wherein the metal layer electrically connects to the metal electrode. The metal layer is patterned using a second mask layer, wherein the intermediate layer is within a coverage area of the metal layer from a top-view perspective after the patterning of the metal layer. A semiconductor structure thereof is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230302494
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip structure. The integrated chip structure includes a dielectric stack disposed on a substrate. The integrated chip structure further includes one or more piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) and one or more capacitive ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs). The one or more PMUTs include a piezoelectric stack disposed within the dielectric stack over one or more PMUT cavities. The one or more CMUTs include electrodes disposed within the dielectric stack and separated by one or more CMUT cavities. An isolation chamber is arranged within the dielectric stack laterally between the one or more PMUTs and the one or more CMUTs. The isolation chamber vertically extends past at least a part of both the one or more PMUTs and the one or more CMUTs.

  • Publication number: 20230240079
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a first die, a second die, and an inter die via (IDV). The first die includes an interconnection structure and a CMOS device electrically connected to the interconnection structure. The second die includes a memory element including a first electrode, a ferroelectric layer on the first electrode, and a second electrode on the ferroelectric layer, wherein a peripheral region of the ferroelectric layer is exposed by and surrounding the second electrode from a top view perspective. The IDV electrically connects the interconnection structure of the first die to the memory element of the second die.
