  • Publication number: 20170077050
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming integrated passive devices, such as inductors and capacitors, using next-generation lithography (NGL) processes, such as electron-beam direct write (EBDW) and extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL). The techniques can be used to form various different integrated passive devices, such as inductors (e.g., spiral inductors) and capacitors (e.g., metal finger capacitors), having higher density, precision, and quality factor (Q) values than if such devices were formed using 193 nm photolithography. The high Q and dense passive devices formed can be used in radio frequency (RF) and analog circuits to boost the performance of such circuits. The increased precision may be realized based on an improvement in, for example, line edge roughness (LER), achievable resolution/critical dimensions, sharpness of corners, and/or density of the formed structures.
