This conventional technique will be explained with reference to Figs. 3 A and 3 B. The structure shown in Fig. 3 A is a structure formed by a metal conductive layer and planarized by a chemical mechanical honing method, where the code 200 represents The dielectric layers, the trenches 201 and 202 in the dielectric layer are filled with copper, respectively, as the wires and the lower electrodes of the metal-insulator-metal capacitor. Then, as shown in FIG. 3B, the chemical vapor phase is enhanced by, for example, a plasma. Deposition method (PECVD), on the surface of the embedded structure, another dielectric layer 20 3 is deposited as the dielectric of the metal-insulator-metal capacitor, and then, on the dielectric layer, a physical vapor deposition method is used. (PVD), a metal such as aluminum is deposited on the dielectric layer 203 as the upper electrode layer 204, and finally, the upper electrode layer outside the metal-insulator-metal capacitor region is etched and removed by lithography to form a desired of It belongs to the insulator-metal capacitor. The conventional metal-insulator-metal capacitor structure described above is a flat capacitor structure, which has a low capacitance / unit area, and its manufacturing method is to complete the metallization of the embedded structure and After the planarization step, a dielectric layer and an upper electrode layer are further deposited, and a lithography method is performed with an added photomask to pattern the upper electrode layer to obtain the required metal-insulator-metal capacitor. The technique is not to form the required metal-insulator-metal capacitor during the metallization process of forming the embedded structure. Therefore, complicated additional processes such as metal deposition, photomask, and etching are required to form the metal one. (3) (3) 1223404 Margin-metal capacitor, so its cost is high and efficiency is low. In addition, when forming a metal-insulator-metal capacitor, it will cause surface topography on the surface of the next interlayer dielectric layer. This surface topography will make the next wire layer The metal embedding process is difficult to perform and therefore, before the patterning step, the surface of the dielectric layer needs to be planarized by a chemical mechanical honing method. In view of the lack of the above-mentioned conventional technologies, it is necessary to provide a method with low cost and high efficiency to form a metal-insulator-metal capacitor. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to metalize a metal embedded structure. In the process, a stacked metal-insulator-metal capacitor is formed in the same layer as the wire without the need for additional process steps.

[Mode] A method of manufacturing a metal-insulator-metal capacitor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the following description is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, for better explanation, the illustrations are not drawn to scale. In the following description, the process steps and corresponding structures according to the embodiments of the present invention do not cover the complete process of manufacturing a complete IC circuit, but may cooperate with other processes in different IC circuits in the field of semiconductor technology to manufacture the required Complete I c circuit. A method for manufacturing the metal-insulator-metal capacitor (6) (6) 1223404 according to the present invention will be described below. First, referring to FIG. 1A, it shows a structure in which a contact layer 102 is formed on a substrate 100, and a tungsten plug 104 is formed in the contact layer 02. The contact layer shown in FIG. IA is first subjected to patterning, followed by lithographic etching, so that as shown in FIG. 1B, a wide opening of the underlying metal plate 106 for the capacitor to be formed is formed in the contact layer 102. (Compared to metal plug 104). Next, for example, a chemical vapor deposition method (hereinafter abbreviated as CVD) is used to deposit tungsten into this large opening as a metal plate 106 for a capacitor to be formed, thereby forming a structure as shown in FIG. 1B. As shown in FIG. 1B, the depth of the formed large opening is substantially equal to the thickness of the contact layer. However, the thickness of the metal such as tungsten deposited in the large opening is much smaller than the depth of the tungsten plug 104. For example, In other words, the depth of the tungsten plug 104 is 7000 A, and the depth of tungsten in the large opening is 300 A. Therefore, the deposited tungsten only fills the lower part of the opening. Next, referring to FIG. 1C, it is described that another metal plate for the capacitor and another group of metal plugs are simultaneously formed. The first interlayer dielectric layer 108 is deposited on the structure shown in FIG. 1B by, for example, the P E C V D method, to form the structure shown in FIG. 1C. It should be noted that the surface geometry of the first interlayer dielectric layer 108 formed at this time conforms to the surface geometry of the structure shown in FIG. 1B. Then, as shown in FIG. 1D, the first interlayer dielectric layer 108 is patterned and etched to form a wire hole communicating with the tungsten plug 1. Next, copper is deposited on the first interlayer dielectric layer 108 and the wire hole, thereby forming a first copper plate 1 12 and a first group of copper plugs 1 and then performing a chemical mechanical honing method to make the surface As a result of the planarization, a structure as shown in FIG. 1D is formed. -9- (7) (7) 1223404 After that, the second interlayer dielectric layer 1 1 4 is formed on the structure of FIG. 1D in the same manner as described above with reference to FIG. 1C, and then in the same manner as described above with reference to FIG. 4 A second group of copper plugs 1 1 6 and a second copper plate 1 1 8 are formed, thus forming a structure as shown in FIG. 1E. Note that the second group of copper plugs 1 1 6 formed at this time is in communication with the first group of copper plugs 1 1 0 described above, and the second copper plate 1 1 8 formed is substantially the same size as the first copper plate . In this embodiment, the electrical connection relationship between the metal plate 106, the first copper plate 1 12, and the second copper plate 1 1 8 is that the metal plate 106 and the second copper plate 1 12 are electrically connected, but these two None of them is electrically connected to the first copper plate (not shown in FIG. 1C). It should be noted that the first or second copper plate from the above-mentioned FIG. 1C to FIG. 1E is connected to the copper wire (copper plug) in the same layer. ) Formed in the same step at the same time. In other words, a metal parallel plate for a capacitor is simultaneously formed in the step of manufacturing a copper wire, but it is not necessary to add any additional masks and steps specifically for the metal plate. Next, according to the requirements, the steps described above with reference to Figs. 1C to 1E are repeated to form a stacked metal-insulator-metal capacitor 120 as shown in Fig. 1F. As shown in FIG. 1F, on each of the conductive layer of the metal embedded structure of the metal parallel plate, another conductive layer of the metal embedded structure of the metal parallel plate is formed. The number of repetitions depends on the demand of the circuit to be formed. The total number of metal parallel plates thus formed for the metal capacitor to be formed is the total number of wire layers plus the number of contact layers. In this embodiment, the number of contact layers is one.
