In the MIM capacitor, the parasitic capacitance is generally small because the bottom plate shields the top plate, however, the MIM capacitor requires an additional mask in the fabrication process, resulting in high fabrication cost.
On the contrary, the manufacture of MOM capacitors can easily form metal layers through equipment, and as the technology of the process is developed, the density of the capacitors is gradually increased, and MOM capacitors are widely used. However, the parasitic capacitance of both electrodes of the MOM capacitor is large compared to the MIM capacitor, so that the application of the MOM capacitor in a circuit is limited.

Detailed Description
As described in the background section, the parasitic capacitance of the MOM capacitor in the prior art is large.
The inventors have found that this occurs because, referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a three-dimensional representation of a stacked metallization structure of a MOM capacitor 100, where the MOM capacitor 100 includes a plurality of metal layers M1-M6, where M1 is a first layer metal of the MOM capacitor, M2 is a second layer metal, and Mn is an nth layer metal, and each metal layer includes interdigitated fingers 110 and 120. The fingers 110 and 120 on the different metal layers M1-M6 are connected by a plurality of vias and may be separated by an oxide layer (not shown). The fingers 110 in each metal layer are connected to form a first electrode a of the MOM capacitor, and the fingers 120 in the metal layers are connected to form a second electrode B of the MOM capacitor.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the MOM capacitor 100, in which the capacitor is formed between sidewalls of metal in the same layer. As shown in fig. 2, there is also a large parasitic capacitance in the MOM capacitance, which is formed primarily by the bottom and side surfaces of fingers 110 and 120 and the upper surface of substrate 01. It should be noted that the first metal layer M1 is closest to the substrate, and therefore the parasitic capacitance between the first metal layer M1 and the substrate 01 is the largest, and the parasitic capacitance of each metal layer M2 … … Mn located above the first metal layer M1 is smaller than that of the substrate 01 due to the blocking of the first metal layer M1, and is negligible with respect to the parasitic capacitance of the first metal layer M1 and the substrate 01.
As shown in fig. 2, the parasitic capacitance of the first metal layer M1 to the substrate 01 includes two parts: the bottom surface of the first metal layer M1 is opposite to the substrate 01 to form a parallel plate capacitor, and the sidewall of the first metal layer M1 is opposite to the substrate to form a sidewall capacitor. These two parasitic capacitances are collectively denoted by Cp1, and the parasitic capacitances of the first electrode a and the second electrode B to the substrate 01 are the same in magnitude, each accounting for Cp1/2, that is, in fig. 3, Cp is Cp 1/2. Fig. 3 is a simplified equivalent circuit diagram of fig. 2, wherein the capacitor Cmom is an actually required MOM capacitor of the MOM capacitor, Cp is an undesired parasitic capacitor, and it should be noted that the ground terminal in fig. 3 is the substrate 01 in fig. 2, and in an actual use process, the substrate 01 is grounded, so that the substrate is equivalent to the ground terminal. It can be known from the prior art that both electrodes have parasitic capacitance with respect to the substrate, and the parasitic capacitance is large.
Based on this, the invention provides an MOM capacitor, comprising:
a substrate;
the shielding layer is positioned on the substrate and has a whole-layer structure;
the shielding layer is positioned on one side, away from the substrate, of the shielding layer and is formed by a plurality of metal layers and a plurality of oxidation layers which are in crossed lamination; each metal layer comprises a plurality of first interdigital structures and second interdigital structures which are mutually crossed; the first interdigital structures in the multiple metal layers are electrically connected to serve as first electrodes of the MOM capacitor, and the second interdigital structures in the multiple metal layers are electrically connected to serve as second electrodes of the MOM capacitor;
a first interdigital structure in a metal layer closest to the shielding layer in the plurality of metal layers is in short circuit with the shielding layer; and the second interdigital structure in the metal layer closest to the shielding layer in the plurality of metal layers is insulated from the shielding layer.
According to the MOM capacitor provided by the invention, the whole shielding layer is formed between the substrate and the multiple metal layers, and the shielding layer at least can shield the parasitic capacitor formed on the opposite surface between the metal layers and the substrate, so that the parasitic capacitor of the MOM capacitor is reduced, the capacitance value of the MOM capacitor is larger under the same area, the capacitance density of the MOM capacitor is increased, and the application of the MOM capacitor is wider.
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of an MOM capacitor according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the MOM capacitor includes:
a substrate 1;
the shielding layer 2 is positioned on the substrate 1, and the shielding layer 2 is of a whole-layer structure;
a plurality of metal layers (Mm … … Mn) and a plurality of oxide layers (not shown in the figure) which are crossly laminated on the side of the shielding layer 2 facing away from the substrate 1; each metal layer comprises a plurality of first interdigital structures A0 and second interdigital structures B0 which are mutually crossed; the first interdigital structures in the multiple metal layers are electrically connected to serve as a first electrode A of the MOM capacitor, and the second interdigital structures in the multiple metal layers are electrically connected to serve as a second electrode B of the MOM capacitor;
the first interdigital structure A0 in the metal layer Mm closest to the shielding layer 2 among the plurality of metal layers (Mm … … Mn) is shorted with the shielding layer 2; and the second interdigital structure B0 in the metal layer Mm closest to the shielding layer 2 in the plurality of metal layers (Mm … … Mn) is insulated from the shielding layer 2.
As shown in fig. 4, the first interdigital structure a0 in the lowest metal layer Mm is directly electrically connected to the shielding layer 2, and the second interdigital structure B0 in the lowest metal layer Mm is insulated from the shielding layer 2, so as to form a capacitor.
As shown in fig. 5, an equivalent circuit diagram of an MOM capacitor according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided, in which a ground terminal is the substrate 1 shown in fig. 4 in this embodiment. The capacitor Cmom between the first electrode a and the second electrode B is a capacitor formed by sidewalls of a plurality of same-layer interdigital structures in the MOM capacitor. Also included between the first electrode a and the second electrode B is a capacitance Cp2 formed between the shielding layer 2 and the second interdigital structure B0 in fig. 4. Since the first electrode a is directly short-circuited with the shielding layer 2, the parasitic capacitance between the shielding layer 2 and the substrate 1 is also the parasitic capacitance Cp3 between the first electrode a and the ground terminal.
Comparing fig. 5 and the equivalent circuit diagram of fig. 3, it can be seen that the MOM capacitor provided by the embodiment of the present invention shields the parasitic capacitor Cp between the second electrode B and the substrate 1 in fig. 3 due to the existence of the shielding layer, and the parasitic capacitor disappears. And a parasitic capacitance Cp2 connected in parallel is also added between the first electrode a and the second electrode B, and according to the capacitance parallel principle, the capacitance value between the first electrode a and the second electrode B is increased, that is, the capacitance value of the MOM capacitor is increased. It should be noted that the parasitic capacitance Cp3 is also included between the first electrode a and the substrate, but in practical applications, such as in the charge pump example shown below, the parasitic capacitance Cp3 of the first electrode a with respect to the substrate can be accepted. So long as the parasitic capacitance of the second electrode B is reduced or eliminated.
In this embodiment, the material of the shielding layer is not limited, and the shielding layer may have a certain conductivity, so long as the shielding layer can form a parasitic capacitance with a metal layer located thereon, and can be short-circuited, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance between the metal layer and the substrate. In this embodiment, the shielding layer is a polysilicon layer or a metal layer with relatively low impedance.
In the manufacturing process of the integrated circuit, a plurality of metal layers may be formed, and the metal layer points away from the substrate, and sequentially includes a first metal layer M1, a second metal layer M2 … …, and an nth metal layer Mn.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 shows that the first metal layer M1 in the integrated circuit is fabricated as a whole layer structure for forming the shielding layer 12 in the embodiment of the present invention, and at this time, since the first metal layer M1 is a whole layer structure, a parasitic capacitance Cp3 is formed between the first metal layer M1 and the substrate 11, and a parasitic capacitance Cp2 is formed with the second finger structure in the second metal layer M2 above the first metal layer M1, which is directly shorted with the first finger structure.
In addition, in this embodiment, other metal layers may also be used as the shielding layer, and in this case, none of the metal layers located between the shielding layer and the substrate exists, and thus the metal layer cannot be used as the interdigital structure of the MOM capacitor. So that the utilization of the metal layer is reduced.
Therefore, in another embodiment of the present invention, a polysilicon layer may be additionally disposed between the multiple metal layers and the substrate as a shielding layer, and it should be noted that "adding" in this embodiment does not separately fabricate a polysilicon layer, but employs a polysilicon layer in an integrated circuit in the prior art as a shielding layer in this embodiment, for example, if an MOS transistor exists in an integrated circuit, the polysilicon layer during fabricating a gate of the MOS transistor may extend to a position above the MOM capacitor substrate in this embodiment to be used as a shielding layer, that is, a gate polysilicon layer without other functions in the prior art is used as a shielding layer of the MOM capacitor in this embodiment, and in the fabrication process, the fabrication step of the MOM capacitor in this embodiment is not added.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 shows a structure of a polysilicon layer as a shielding layer, in which the polysilicon layer 22 is located between the substrate 21 and the first metal layer M1. Compared with the MOM capacitor shown in fig. 5, in this embodiment, the metal layer of the MOM capacitor is not occupied, so that the capacitance value of the MOM capacitor is larger.
In this embodiment, the type of the polysilicon is not limited, and optionally, the polysilicon layer is metal silicided polysilicon (silicided poly-Si) with a smaller square resistance, so that the overall resistance of the shielding layer is smaller, and the shielding effect is better.
In the above embodiments of the present invention, the size of the shielding layer is not limited, as long as the shielding layer can shield the parasitic capacitance between the second interdigital structure in the metal layer and the substrate. It should be noted that, when the shielding layer is smaller, the parasitic capacitance between the sidewall of the second interdigital structure located at the edge and the substrate may not be shielded, so that the parasitic capacitance between the second electrode of the MOM capacitor and the substrate cannot be completely shielded.
In order to be able to locate the parasitic capacitance (including the parasitic capacitance formed by the bottom surface and the substrate and the parasitic capacitance formed by the sidewall and the substrate) between the second electrode of the MOM capacitor and the substrate, the projection of the multi-layer metal layer on the plane where the substrate is located in the projection of the shielding layer on the plane where the substrate is located in this embodiment.
In order to avoid the influence on other devices in the integrated circuit caused by the excessively large area of the shielding layer, in this embodiment, the edge of the projection of the shielding layer on the plane of the substrate is at least 2 micrometers larger than the edge of the projection of the multi-layer metal layer on the plane of the substrate. Preferably, in the manufacturing process, the edge of the projection of the shielding layer on the plane of the substrate may be extended by 2 micrometers from the edge of the projection of the multilayer metal layer on the plane of the substrate, which is not limited in this embodiment, and the design may be selected according to the manufacturing of an actual integrated circuit and components in the integrated circuit.
According to the MOM capacitor provided by the invention, the whole shielding layer is formed between the substrate and the multiple metal layers, and the shielding layer at least can shield the parasitic capacitor formed on the opposite surface between the metal layers and the substrate, so that the parasitic capacitor of the MOM capacitor is reduced, the capacitance value of the MOM capacitor is larger under the same area, the capacitance density of the MOM capacitor is increased, and the application of the MOM capacitor is wider.
The invention also provides an integrated circuit comprising the MOM capacitor described in all of the above embodiments.
It should be noted that the specific structure of the integrated circuit is not limited in this embodiment, and as long as the integrated circuit includes the MOM capacitor, the MOM capacitor with the shielding layer described in the above embodiments of the present invention may be adopted, so as to reduce the parasitic capacitance of one electrode to the substrate and increase the capacitance value of the MOM capacitor.
In order to better illustrate the advantages of the MOM capacitor provided in the above embodiments of the present invention, the integrated circuit is used as a charge pump in the embodiments of the present invention. The MOM capacitor with the shielding layer can improve the efficiency of the charge pump. The method comprises the following specific steps:
please refer to fig. 8, 9a, 9b and 10, wherein fig. 8 is a charge pump equivalent circuit diagram in the prior art, fig. 9a is a charge pump equivalent circuit diagram with parasitic capacitance taken into consideration, and Cmom is the MOM capacitance. FIG. 9b is the equivalent circuit diagram of the charge pump after shielding the parasitic capacitance of one electrode terminal of the MOM capacitor; FIG. 10 is a diagram of the equivalent circuit shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 9a, FIG. 9b
Figure BDA0001527312230000088
And
Figure BDA0001527312230000089
the timing control diagram of (1).
Neglecting the switching loss, under the ideal clock condition, the charge pump efficiency shown in fig. 8 can reach 100%, and the output voltage:
Vcpout=2*Vdd
in fig. 9a, the parasitic capacitance Cp of the MOM capacitance at the second electrode B-terminal to ground affects the charge pump efficiency:
Figure BDA0001527312230000081
during high level period, the first electrode A of MOM capacitor is connected to ground, and the second electrode B is chargedTo Vdd, the total charge stored at point B of the second electrode is:
Figure BDA0001527312230000082
in the period of phi 2 being high level, the first electrode A point of MOM capacitor is connected to VDD, the second electrode B point is connected to Cpout, the voltage across the parasitic capacitor Cp of the second electrode B point is Vdd (V) ((V))
Figure BDA0001527312230000083
During a high level) to Vcpout: (
Figure BDA0001527312230000084
During high level), the total charge at the point B of the second electrode is:
Figure BDA0001527312230000085
b-site charge conservation, therefore:
Figure BDA0001527312230000086
that is to say that the first and second electrodes,
(Cmom+Cp)*Vdd=Cmom*(Vout–Vdd)+Cp*Vout
to obtain
Figure BDA0001527312230000087
If Cp/Cmom is 0.1, Vout is 1.91 Vdd, and the efficiency of the charge pump is 95.5%.
It can be seen that the efficiency of the charge pump is affected by the magnitude of the parasitic capacitance of the second electrode B to ground.
In fig. 9B, the MOM capacitor structure with the shielding layer according to the above embodiment of the present invention is adopted, the second electrode B terminal of the MOM capacitor has no parasitic capacitance to ground, i.e. Cp is 0 in the above formula, the charge pump efficiency is not affected, and in the same area, Cp2 between the first electrode a and the second electrode B is added to be connected in parallel with the original MOM capacitor, so that the MOM capacitor density is increased (wherein, the parasitic capacitance Cp3 of the a terminal to ground does not affect the charge pump efficiency).
Therefore, the MOM capacitor with the shielding layer in the embodiment of the invention can improve the efficiency of the charge pump, increase the capacitance value of the MOM capacitor and increase the density of the MOM capacitor in the same area.
Another embodiment of the present invention further provides a cross-coupled charge pump, which has the structure shown in fig. 11, 12a, 12b and 13, wherein fig. 11 is a charge pump equivalent circuit diagram in the prior art, fig. 12a is a charge pump equivalent circuit diagram after considering parasitic capacitance, and Cmom is a MOM capacitor. FIG. 12b is the equivalent circuit diagram of the charge pump after shielding the parasitic capacitance of one electrode terminal of the MOM capacitor; FIG. 13 is a timing control diagram of clock signals Clk1 and Clk2 in the equivalent circuit diagrams shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 12a, FIG. 12 b;
specifically, fig. 11 illustrates a charge pump structure using two flying capacitors (the flying capacitors refer to fast charging capacitors, namely, the capacitor C1 and the capacitor C2 in fig. 11, and the capacitor between a and B in fig. 8 is also a flying capacitor), in this embodiment, the switch transistor M1 and the switch transistor M3 are NMOS, and the switch transistors M2 and M4 are PMOS.
Neglecting the switching loss, under the ideal condition of the clock, the charge pump efficiency can reach 100%, and the output voltage is:
Vout=Vin+Vdd
similarly, based on the principle of charge conservation, fig. 12a can be derived, where nodes M and N both have parasitic capacitance Cp to ground, the output voltage of the charge pump is:
Figure BDA0001527312230000091
the parasitic capacitance Cp affects the charge pump efficiency.
As shown in fig. 12b, by using the MOM capacitor structure with shielding layer in the above embodiment of the present invention, the parasitic capacitance of M and N points to ground can be shielded, but the parasitic capacitance of the clock access terminals Clk1 and Clk2 to ground does not substantially affect the charge pump efficiency, and only the size of the inverter needs to be increased to make the inverter have sufficient driving capability.
Therefore, in the embodiment, the MOM capacitor with the shielding layer according to the embodiment of the present invention can improve the efficiency of the charge pump, and increase the capacitance value of the MOM capacitor, so that the density of the MOM capacitor is increased in the same area.
