  • Publication number: 20080157217
    Abstract: A semiconductor component that includes an integrated passive device and method for manufacturing the semiconductor component. Vertically integrated passive devices are manufactured above a substrate. In accordance with one embodiment, a resistor is manufactured in a first level above a substrate, a capacitor is manufactured in a second level that is vertically above the first level, and a copper inductor is manufactured in a third level that is vertically above the second level. The capacitor has aluminum plates. In accordance with another embodiment, a resistor is manufactured in a first level above a substrate, a copper inductor is manufactured in a second level that is vertically above the first level, and a capacitor is manufactured in a third level that is vertically above the second level. The capacitor may have aluminum plates or a portion of the copper inductor may serve as one of its plates.

  • Patent number: 6984860
    Abstract: A semiconductor device (10) is formed on a semiconductor substrate (12) whose surface (24) is formed with a trench (18). A capacitor (20) has a first plate (22) formed over the substrate surface with first and second portions lining first and second sidewalls (25) of the trench, respectively. A second plate (35, 38) is formed over the first plate and extends into the trench between the first and second portions.
