  • Publication number: 20240194744
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a device may include providing an ultra-high voltage (UHV) component that includes a source region and a drain region, and forming an oxide layer on a top surface of the UHV component. The method may include connecting a low voltage terminal to the source region of the UHV component, and connecting a high voltage terminal to the drain region of the UHV component. The method may include forming a shielding structure on a surface of the oxide layer provided above the drain region of the UHV component, forming a high voltage interconnection that connects to the shielding structure and to the high voltage terminal, and forming a metal routing that connects the shielding structure and the low voltage terminal.

  • Patent number: 9966427
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor with a top electrode that is free of sidewall damage is provided. A bottom electrode layer is formed with a first material. An inter-electrode dielectric layer is formed over the bottom electrode layer. A top electrode layer is formed over the inter-electrode dielectric layer and without the first material. A first etch is performed into the top electrode layer and the inter-electrode dielectric layer to form a top electrode. A second etch into the bottom electrode layer to form a bottom electrode. The present application is also directed towards a MIM capacitor resulting from performing the method.
