Next, the manufacturing method of the capacitor device will be described in detail in combination with Figures 2a-2l The manufacturing method of the capacitor device will be described in detail in combination with
[0057] First, referring to FIG. 1, Figure 2a , step S01 is performed to provide a substrate 10, in which first metal lines 11, second metal lines 12 and an insulating layer 22 covering the first metal lines 11 and the second metal lines 12 are arranged in the same layer.
[0058] The substrate 10 can be any suitable base material known to those skilled in the art, for example, at least one of the following materials: silicon, silicon-on-insulator, stacked silicon-on-insulator, stacked germanium-silicon-on-insulator, germanium-silicon-on-insulator, and germanium-on-insulator. In the present embodiment, the material of the substrate 10 is taken as an example to be described as silicon (silicon substrate).
[0059] The substrate 10 has a device layer and an interconnection layer electrically connected to the device layer, and the interconnection layer is located above the device layer and can be formed by damascene process. The first metal lines 11 and the second metal lines 12 can be two metal wires arranged at intervals in the Nth layer (N is greater than or equal to 1) of the interconnection layer, and the material thereof can include copper, for example. In the present embodiment, the first metal lines 11 and the second metal lines 12 can be two top metal wires arranged at intervals. The dielectric barrier layer 21 and the insulating layer 22 are sequentially formed on the first metal lines 11 and the second metal lines 12, the material of the dielectric barrier layer 21 is used to block the escape of metal ions and to act as an etching stop layer during etching, and the material thereof can include silicon nitride or silicon carbon nitride, for example. The material of the insulating layer 22 is different from that of the dielectric barrier layer 21, and the material thereof can include silicon oxide or silicon oxynitride, for example.
[0060] In addition, in other examples of the present embodiment, a plurality of (at least two) first metal lines 11 and a plurality of second metal lines 12 can also be provided as needed, and the plurality of same metal lines are in parallel state; other metal lines can also be arranged between the first metal lines 11 and the second metal lines 12.
[0061] Next, referring to FIG. 2, Figure 2b , step S02 is performed to form a plurality of grooves 23 in the insulating layer 22 between the first metal lines 11 and the second metal lines 12.
[0062] The insulating layer 22 between the first metal line 11 and the second metal line 12 is provided with a capacitor region AA, and a plurality of grooves 23 are formed in the capacitor region AA for forming a single-layer capacitor thereon. Specifically, a first mask (not shown) is first formed to cover the surface of the insulating layer 22, and the first mask is provided with a plurality of openings in the capacitor region AA; the insulating layer 22 is dry-etched using the first mask and the dielectric barrier layer 21 as an etching stop layer, so as to form a plurality of grooves 23 in the capacitor region AA; and then the first mask is removed. The capacitor region AA can include the plurality of grooves 23 and the partial insulating layer 22 around the grooves 23. Of course, in other examples of the embodiment, the grooves 23 can not penetrate the insulating layer 22.
[0063] In addition, the capacitor region AA can also extend into the insulating layer 22 on the first metal line 11 and / or the second metal line 12 as needed, i.e., the grooves 23 are also formed in the insulating layer 22 on the first metal line 11 and / or the second metal line 12.
[0064] Next, referring to Figure 2c , a step S03 is performed to form a first electrode material layer 24, a first dielectric material layer 25 and a second electrode material layer 26 successively to cover the surface of the insulating layer 22 and the inner wall of the groove 23 conformally. The first electrode material layer 24 can be formed by any suitable process, and can include one or more thin-film conductive layers, which can be made of one or more of titanium, titanium nitride, tantalum or tantalum nitride, and can be formed by physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition, and the thickness of the first electrode material layer 24 can be, for example, 100-400 angstroms. The first dielectric material layer 25 can be made of a dielectric material with a high dielectric constant, such as silicon nitride, hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide, aluminum oxide or rhodium oxide, and the dielectric constant can be greater than or equal to 3.9. The second electrode material layer 26 can be made of a material similar to that of the first electrode material layer 24.
[0065] Next, a step S04 is performed to perform a patterning process on the second electrode material layer 26, the first dielectric material layer 25 and the first electrode material layer 24, so as to form the first electrode 24a, the first dielectric layer 25a and the second electrode 26a covering the groove 23 and the insulating layer 22 around the groove 23, and expose the surface of the second electrode 26a and part of the first electrode 24a.
[0066] Specifically, referring to Figure 2d, the capacitor region AA has a first side A1 and a second side A2 (opposite) close to the first metal line 11 and the second metal line 12 respectively, a second mask 27 is formed to cover the second electrode material layer 26 of the capacitor region AA, and the second mask 27 can also preferably extend to cover the second electrode material layer 26 close to the first side A1 to facilitate subsequent electrical lead-out. It should be noted that the second mask is preferably avoided to extend above the first metal line 11 or the second metal line 12 to prevent short circuit. In the embodiment, the first side A1 of the capacitor region AA is close to the first metal line 11, and the second mask 27 can cover the second electrode material layer 26 of the capacitor region AA and the second electrode material layer 26 between the capacitor region AA and the first metal line 11.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 2e , the second electrode material layer 26 and the first dielectric material layer 25 are etched in sequence by using the second mask 27 to expose the surface of the first electrode material layer 24, and the remaining second electrode material layer 26 is used as the second electrode 26a, and the remaining first dielectric material layer 25 is used as the first dielectric layer 25a, and then the second mask 27 is removed. The second electrode 26a and the first dielectric layer 25a have an overlapping area as close as possible, both covering the capacitor region AA and the region close to the first side A1.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 2f , a third mask 28 is formed to cover the second electrode 26a, and the third mask 28 extends to cover the first electrode material layer 24 close to the second side A2. Preferably, the edge of the third mask 28 near the first side A1 can be aligned with the second electrode 26a as much as possible, and the edge of the third mask 28 near the other side (the second side A2) of the capacitor region AA can extend to the first electrode material layer 24, that is, the third mask 28 can extend to cover the first electrode material layer 24 near the second side A2.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 2g , the first electrode material layer 24 is etched by using the third mask 28 to expose the surface of the insulating layer 22, and the remaining first electrode material layer 24 is used as the first electrode 24a, and then the third mask 28 is removed. The first electrode 24a includes the first electrode material layer 24 under the second electrode 26a (or the first dielectric layer 25a) and the remaining first electrode material layer 24 on the insulating layer 22 close to the second side A2.
[0070] Thus, the trench capacitor composed of the first electrode 24a, the first dielectric layer 25a and the second electrode 26a is formed on the insulating layer 22 in the trench 23 and around the trench 23 (the capacitor region AA) to increase the capacitance value (capacitance density) on the same substrate 10 area. Moreover, the first electrode 24a and the second electrode 26a extend from the capacitor region AA to the first metal line 11 and the second metal line 12 respectively to be exposed to facilitate subsequent electrical lead-out.
[0071] Then, referring to Figure 2h , a second dielectric layer 31 is formed to cover the insulating layer 22, the first electrode 24a, the second electrode 26a and the trench 23. The second dielectric layer 31 can include a single layer or multiple layers of dielectric material, which can include silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbon nitride, silicon oxynitride or other suitable insulating material, and can be formed by a suitable process such as chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition. In addition to covering the insulating layer 22, the first electrode 24a and the second electrode 26a, the second dielectric layer 31 also fills the trench 23. Compared with the related art in which the trench 23 for forming the capacitor is filled with electrode material, the embodiment fills the trench 23 with the second dielectric layer 31, which not only saves electrode material but also provides greater freedom for the design of the trench capacitor. It should be understood that the trench capacitor in the embodiment does not draw electrodes out of the trench 23, so it is not necessary to fill the trench 23 with electrode material, i.e., the embodiment allows the trench capacitor to have a hollow (which can be filled with the second dielectric layer later).
[0072] Then, referring to
[0073] , a plurality of through holes are formed in the second dielectric layer 31 and the insulating layer 22 to respectively expose the first electrode 24a, the second electrode 26a, the first metal line 11 and the second metal line 12, and a third metal line 35 is formed to electrically connect the first metal line 11 and the first electrode 24a, and a fourth metal line 36 is formed to electrically connect the second metal line 12 and the second electrode 26a. Figure 2i , a plurality of first through holes 32 are formed in the second dielectric layer 31 to respectively expose the first electrode 24a and the second electrode 26a. Some of the first through holes 32 are located in the second dielectric layer 31 near the first side A1 to expose one of the first electrode 24a and the second electrode 26a, and the other first through holes 32 are located in the second dielectric layer 31 near the second side A2 to expose the other of the first electrode 24a and the second electrode 26a. In the embodiment, the first through holes 32 near the first side A1 can expose the first electrode 24a, and the first through holes 32 near the second side A2 can expose the second electrode 26a.
[0074] Figure 2j A plurality of second vias 33 are formed in the insulating layer 22 and the second dielectric layer 31 to respectively expose the first metal line 11 and the second metal line 12. Some of the second vias 33 can be located above the first metal line 11 to expose the first metal line 11, and some of the second vias 33 can be located above the second metal line 12 to expose the second metal line 12. In the embodiment, the second vias 33 also penetrate the dielectric barrier layer 21 under the insulating layer 22. When the second vias 33 are etched, the dielectric barrier layer 21 can also act as an etching stop layer for etching the second dielectric layer 31 and the insulating layer 22, so as to reduce damage to the metal lines.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 2k A metal material layer 34 is formed to cover the surface of the second dielectric layer 31, the first vias 32 and the inner walls of the second vias 33. The metal material layer 34 can be a metal material suitable for connecting with external circuits, such as aluminum or aluminum alloy. In the embodiment, the materials of the first metal line 11 and the second metal line 12 include copper, and the metal material layer 34 includes a tantalum nitride layer, a tantalum layer, an aluminum layer, a titanium layer and a titanium nitride layer which are sequentially conformally formed. In practice, since the size (depth and opening width) of the first vias 32 is smaller than that of the second vias 33, the metal material layer 34 can fill the first vias 32, and the metal material layer 34 can only cover the inner walls of the second vias 33 without filling the second vias 33.
[0076] Please refer to Figure 2l A patterning process is performed on the metal material layer 34 to form a third metal line 35 connecting the first metal line 11 and the second electrode 26a, and a fourth metal line 36 connecting the second metal line 12 and the first electrode 24a. Specifically, the patterning process on the metal material layer 34 includes disconnecting the metal material layer 34 on both sides of the capacitor region AA, using the metal material layer 34 covering the second vias 33 on the first metal line 11 to the first via 32 close to the first side A1 as the third metal line 35, and using the metal material layer 34 covering the second vias 33 on the second metal line 12 to the first via 32 close to the second side A2 as the fourth metal line 36.
[0077] In addition, during the patterning process on the metal material layer 34, the metal material layer 34 can also be used to synchronously form a metal pad on the second dielectric layer 31, and other top metal lines can be electrically led out to the metal pad for connection with external circuits. In other words, the electrical leading out (downward leading out) of the trench capacitor in the embodiment can be achieved in the step of forming the metal pad, and no additional device structure and process step is needed.
[0078] It is worth mentioning that in other examples of the embodiment, the first electrode of the trench capacitor can also extend from the capacitor region to a length of the first metal line extension, and the second electrode extends from the capacitor region to a length of the second metal line extension, so that the third metal line formed is electrically connected to the first metal line and the first electrode, and the fourth metal line is electrically connected to the second metal line and the second electrode.

The first metal line 11 and the second metal line 12 are arranged in the same layer in the substrate 10. The insulating layer 22 covers the first metal line 11 and the second metal line 12, and a plurality of trenches 23 are formed in the insulating layer 22 between the first metal line 11 and the second metal line 12. The capacitor is formed in the trench 23 and the insulating layer 22 (capacitor region AA) around the trench 23, and includes a first electrode 24a, a first dielectric layer 25a and a second electrode 26a formed in sequence. The first electrode 24a extends from the capacitor region AA to a length of the second metal line 12 (i.e., the second side A2), and the second electrode 26a and the first dielectric layer 25a extend from the capacitor region AA to a length of the first metal line 11 (i.e., the first side A1). The second dielectric layer 31 covers the surface of the capacitor and the insulating layer 22, and a plurality of first vias 32 are formed in the second dielectric layer 31 to expose the first electrode 24a and the second electrode 26a, respectively. A plurality of second vias 33 are formed in the second dielectric layer 31 and the insulating layer 22 on the first metal line 11 and the second metal line 12 to expose the first metal line 11 and the second metal line 12, respectively. The third metal line 35 is electrically connected to the first metal line 11 and the second electrode 26a by using the first via 32 and the second via 33 close to the first metal line 11, and the fourth metal line 36 is electrically connected to the second metal line 12 and the first electrode 24a by using the first via 32 and the second via 33 close to the second metal line 12.
[0082] In summary, the application forms a plurality of grooves in the insulating layer between the first metal line and the second metal line, and forms a capacitor in the grooves and on the insulating layer around the grooves, the capacitor comprising a first electrode, a first dielectric layer and a second electrode formed in sequence in a conformal manner, the first electrode and the second electrode extend to both sides of the capacitor respectively and are both exposed upward, a second dielectric layer is further formed to cover the capacitor and the insulating layer, and a via hole is formed in the second dielectric layer and the insulating layer to expose the first metal line, the second metal line, the first electrode and the second electrode respectively, a third metal line is further formed by the via hole to electrically connect the second electrode and the first metal line, and a fourth metal line is further formed by the via hole to electrically connect the first electrode and the second metal line, thus the two electrodes of the capacitor are completed to be led downward by the first metal line and the second metal line in the substrate, the leading-out of the capacitor in the capacitor device and the wiring of the metal line on the insulating layer are completed without additional process steps, so that the leading-out structure is simple, the process integration difficulty is reduced, and the capacitance density and the design freedom of the capacitor in the capacitor device are improved. In addition, compared with the way of filling the grooves with metal in the related art, the two electrodes of the capacitor in the embodiment extend to both sides to realize electrical leading-out, without the need to fill the metal, i.e. allowing the existence of hollows, so as to improve the design freedom of the capacitor in the capacitor device.
