More specifically, in the manufacture of integrated circuits A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional metal-insulator-metal capacitor in the same layer as a metal wire when performing a metallization process. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Capacitors are one of the necessary components in integrated circuits, and perform voltage adjustment, filtering, and other functions in the circuits. In semiconductor integrated circuits, common types of capacitors are polycrystalline silicon-insulator-polycrystalline silicon capacitors, metal-insulator-metal capacitors, and so on. Among them, metal-insulator-metal capacitors have lower contact resistance, so their RC ratio is lower. They are often used in integrated circuits that require high speed, and they are often found in different applications such as analog circuits and hybrid circuits. In recent years, with the significant improvement in the miniaturization of integrated circuits, the aluminum wires in the metallization process, which is a later stage of the integrated circuit process, have gradually been replaced by copper wires with a lower conductivity. In addition, in today's integrated circuit manufacturing processes, for example, in processes below 0.1 to 8 microns, dual-embedded structures have been widely used to fabricate multilayer semiconductor integrated circuits. The so-called double-etched structure means that metal is deposited in the wire holes and lines that have been patterned in the lower dielectric layer. Then, in a so-called planarization step, an excess of Metal is removed to polish the surface of the wafer. Published on R.

Here, the formation of the metal engraved structure 100 will be explained. For example, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECDV) is used to deposit a SiN layer as the substrate 101. Then, the substrate 101 is patterned and etched into a structure having a plurality of trenches as shown in FIG. 1B by photolithography (ph otolith og rap hy). Then, for example, as a metal layer 102, a copper layer having a thickness in a range of 100 to 800 angstroms is deposited on the substrate 101 by physical vapor deposition (PVD). The substrate 101 can be used as a barrier layer of the metal layer 102 to be formed later, and the metal layer 102 is used as a bottom electrode layer of the metal-insulator-metal capacitor, and is used as a seed layer to facilitate the formation of the metal wires in the subsequent formation of the wires. For example, in the copper process, the substrate 101 includes SiN and SiCh, and the material of the metal layer 102 is copper. Next, a photoresist layer 104 is formed on the metal embedded structure and then patterned, as shown in FIG. 1C.
