FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the embodiment of the capacitor structure 3 为本 of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of the first embodiment of the capacitor structure 3 〇 发明 of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 2, the capacitor structure 3〇〇 is also similar to the aforementioned stacked structure, and has a plurality of capacitor layers 31〇, 32〇. The parent capacitor layer 310, 320 includes a plurality of capacitor units. Note here that for the sake of simplicity, Figures 2 through 3 illustrate only a plurality of capacitor units 330. However, in practice, the capacitor structure 3A includes more capacitor units 330. In addition, in this embodiment, the capacitor structure 3 is fabricated by a semiconductor process. Therefore, the capacitor structure 3 further has a semiconductor substrate and an isolation layer, wherein the isolation layer is located. The capacitor layer and the semiconductor substrate are used to prevent the capacitor structure 3〇〇 from contacting the semiconductor substrate 1323473 board, and the overall capacitor structure 3〇〇 cannot operate normally. However, for the sake of simplicity, the half-substrate and the isolation layer described in FIGS. 2 and 3 are not depicted; and the structure and operation of the semiconductor substrate and the isolation layer are understood by those skilled in the art. Therefore, in this embodiment, each of the capacitor units 33A includes a metal island pillar 331 and a metal sidewall 332'. As shown in FIG. 2, the square metal sidewall 312 is located at the metal island. Outside the column 331 and surrounding the metal island column 331 °, referring to FIG. 3, a dielectric layer 333 is formed between the metal sidewall 332 and the metal island pillar 331, and the dielectric layer 333 also surrounds the metal island pillar 331 to extend the metal sidewall. The 332 is spaced apart from the metal island column 33 1 . However, please note here that for the sake of clarity, Figure 2 only depicts the metal island pillars 331 and the metal sidewalls 332' with the dielectric layer 333 interposed therebetween omitted. In addition, in order to obtain a capacitive effect, the metal sidewall 332 and the metal island pillar 33 1 respectively have different electrical properties, in other words, there is a potential difference between the metal sidewall 332 and the metal island pillar 33 1 . For example, the metal sidewalls 3 32 may correspond to a positive potential 'and the metal island pillars 33 对应 correspond to opposite negative potentials, such that the metal sidewalls 332 and the metal island pillars 33 1 have corresponding capacitance values.

Therefore, in the example of the singularity, the metal sidebands u 9 located at different capacitance layers 3 10, 3 2 0 are connected by the plugs 334 located at the four corners, and therefore, different thunderstorms It is considered that the metal sidewalls 332 of the four layers 310 and 320 of the J electric layer have the same electrical properties; on the other hand, the metal island pillars 331 located at different capacitance layers 31〇, 32〇 are located by paying The plugs 3 34 are connected together, and therefore, the metal island pillars 331 located at different capacitances; s : 5In and 噌 jlO' 320 have the same electrical properties. For example, if the metal sidewall 332 corresponds to a positive potential and the metal island pillar 331 corresponds to a negative potential, then in this embodiment, all the metal sidewalls 332 correspond to a positive potential, and all the metal island pillars 33 i are Corresponds to a negative potential. As described above, each capacitor unit 33 can generate a capacitive effect by its internal metal island 331 and metal sidewall 332. Therefore, for the overall capacitor structure 300, the overall capacitance effect corresponds to all. The sum of the capacitive effects produced by the capacitive unit 330. Please note that in the current process technology, the fabrication of the above-mentioned capacitor structure 3〇〇 has been generally carried out using a process of 1 8 micron or less; this means the space between the metal sidewall 332 and the metal island pillar 331 ( The pitch can be made relatively small. As is well known in the art, the smaller the spacing between the metal sidewalls 332 and the metal island pillars 33 1 , the greater the capacitive effect that can be obtained. Therefore, the capacitor structure 300 of the present invention is preferably implemented in a process of 0. 18 microns or less to reinforce the capacitive effect that it can obtain. 10 丄 (4) 4 / 3 In addition, in order to make the metal sidewall 332 (or / and the metal island column 33 1 } have a predetermined potential as just described, in general, the capacitor structure 3 另 further includes at least one power layer (Power The layer is disposed on the semiconductor substrate, and the power layer is connected to the metal sidewall 332 through a plurality of plugs, so that the metal sidewall 332 can provide the conductive wall with a predetermined potential to have a preset Electrical. Please note that since the structure and operation of the power supply layer are well known in the industry, it should be understood by those of ordinary knowledge in this field, so it is not mentioned here. Please refer to Figure 4 here. Figure 5 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the capacitor structure 400 of the present invention; and Figure 5 is a plan view of a second embodiment of the capacitor structure 400 of the present invention. Similarly, the capacitor structure also has a plurality of capacitors. Layers 410 and 420. Each of the capacitor layers 41A and 420 includes a plurality of capacitor units 43 0. Note that, for the sake of simplicity, Figures 4 to 5 only show a plurality of capacitor units 430. However, the capacitor structure 400 can actually contain more Capacitor unit 430. Please note here that for the sake of simplicity, the semiconductor substrate and isolation layer associated with capacitor structure 400 are not shown in Figures 4 and 5. However, those skilled in the art should understand the semiconductor. The structure and operation of the substrate and the isolation layer are not described here. Note that in the present embodiment, each capacitor unit 430 has the same structure and operation as the capacitor unit 330 described above; for example, a capacitor The unit 43A also includes a metal island 431, a metal sidewall 432, and a dielectric layer 433'. As its structure and operation have been set forth in the foregoing disclosure, it will not be further described herein. 11 1323473 See Figure 4 'Identically' in this embodiment, the two adjacent capacitor layers 410, 420 are also separated by a dielectric material between two adjacent capacitor layers; in addition, as shown in Figures 2 and 3' Each of the capacitor units 43A includes a plurality of vias 434. The plugs 434 are used to connect the two adjacent capacitor layers 410, 420, so that the ends of the plugs 434 are connected to have the same electrical properties. .

此外,請繼續參閱第5圖’金屬島柱4 3 1係具有一插 塞434,而金屬侧壁432則於其四個角落上分別配置有一 插塞434。 在此請注意,本實施例之電容結構4 0 〇與前述的電容 結構300的不同之處在於,電容層410、420的相對位置 與前述的電容層310、320有所不同。如第4圖與第5圖 片所示,於本實施例中,位於電容層41〇的金屬側壁432 係藉由位於四角的插塞434連接至電容層42〇的金屬島柱 431 ’而位於電容層420的金屬側壁432係藉由位於四角 的插塞434連接至電容層41〇的金屬島柱431。 因此,於本實施例中,兩相鄰電容層41〇、42〇的金 屬側壁432係具有不同的電性’而兩相鄰電容層、㈣ 的金屬島柱431亦具有不同的電性,'然而,對於相同電容 層而言’其内部的金屬島柱431與金屬側壁W係分別具 有不同的電性。 因此’對於每一個電容單元43〇來說,由於其内部的 金屬島柱431與金屬侧壁432仍可確保其分別對應不同的 電性,因此彼此之間亦可產生電容效應。而對於不同居的 12 1323473 •金屬側壁432來說,由於兩相鄰電容層410、420的金屬 側壁432係對應不同的電性’因此不同層的金屬側壁432 之間亦有電容效應;相同地,不同層的金屬島柱43 1之間 亦有電容效應。如此一來,便大大增加了整體電容結構400 所能獲得的電容效應。 舉例來說,若於電容層4 1 0中’其内部的金屬侧壁432 係對應正電位,而其内部的金屬島柱43 1則對應負電位, 那麼,於本實施例中,電容層420的金屬側壁432皆對應 負電位’並且電容層420的金屬島柱43 1皆對應正電位。 如前所述’每一個電容單元430皆可藉由其内部的金屬島 柱431與金屬侧壁432而產生一電容效應,而不同電容層 410、420的金屬侧壁432或金屬島柱431亦可產生另一電 容效應,因此’對於整體電容結構400來說,其整體的電 容效應不僅具有全部電容單元330所產生之電容效應的總 和’亦具有不同電容層410、420的金屬側壁432或金屬 島柱43 1所產生知電容效應的總和。 相同地’為了使金屬側壁432及金屬島柱431)具有如 前述之預定電位,一般來說,電容結構4〇〇係另包含有至 少一電源層(P〇wer Layer )’位於該半導體基板之上,該 電源層可透過複數個插塞,連接至金屬側壁432,如此一 來’金屬側壁432便可提供該導電壁一預設電位,使其具 有預设的電性。在此請注意,由於電源層的結構與操作已 為業界所熟知,揭露至此’此領域具有通常知識者應可理 解’故不另贅述於此。 13 1323473 . 此外,本發明之第二實施例之電容結構400較佳地以 • 〇.1 8微米以下的製程實作之,以降低電容結構中各元件的 間距(pitch),以增強電容結構4〇〇整體可獲得的電容效應。 在此請注意,為了簡化起見,於前面的揭露之中,電 容結構300、400係包含兩個電容層,然而,在實際應用 上,電容結構實可根據設計者的需求,而相對應地具有更 夕或疋更少的電谷層;舉例來說,由於單一個電容單元 330、430便已具有相對應的電容效應,因此若單一個電容 層中,已經具有數量足以產生足夠電容值的電容單元,那 麼電容結構便只須一個電容層即可實施;另—方面,電容 結構亦可根據設計者的需束, 古 β J而水而具有更多電容層,以進而 得到更大的電容值,如此的相對應變化,亦屬本發明的範 此咕庄忍,本發明並未限制金屬島柱與金屬側壁的 =大亦並未限制插塞的位置與數量。雖 =揭路之中’金屬側壁係為—四方形的側壁1而,這樣 乃之實刼例,而非本發明的限制。 由於在實際的製程中,6 从 ψ 几全四方形的側壁並不容易實 作,因此,如第2〜5圖所示,么屈ώ ’、 金屬島柱在四角上可且有一 些誤差,而無須為完全的四方 了八有 可依照製作時的簡單程度 …更 系一卞而芰化,而不以四方形為限。 近-個插塞大小,然而,這様二*屬島柱的尺寸則接 容易f竹.m 樣的尺寸在實際的製程中亦不 谷易貫作,因此,亦可將金 、,屬島柱的尺寸加大,以方便實 14 1323473 作’在此請參閱第6圖,第6圖為本發明電容結構 第三實施例的立體圖。如第6圖所示,於電容結構_ 每一金屬島柱631的尺寸皆已加大為壁狀結構,以方 作,而其上亦建構有複數個插塞634,來確保其電性盘抓 計時的狀電性相符;#此的相對應變化,亦 2 明的精神❶ 咬牙不知 此外,在實際應用上,金屬侧壁亦可具有更多/更小 插塞;舉例來說,若金屬側壁具有更大的尺寸,如第:圖 所π I屬側壁632的尺寸亦較前述的實施例為大,因二 金層側壁632上亦可配置更多的插塞㈣。如此一來,金 屬侧壁與金屬島柱皆可藉由更多的插塞,來確保其電性斑 設料的狀電性相符,以確保彼此之間能夠確實的產^ 電容效應;如此的相對應變化,亦屬本發明的範疇。 在此請注意,雖然於前面的揭露之中,金屬島柱盘金 屬側壁皆由金屬所構成;然而,這樣的作法僅為本發明之 實施例,而非本發明的限制。於實際應用上,金屬島柱 與金屬側壁可由其他的導電材料製作之,如此的相對應變 化’亦屬本發明的範疇。 相較於習知技術,本發明提出了另一種電容結構,以 於更小的晶片區域中取得更佳的電容值,如此一來,本發 明便可於有限的晶片區域中,建置電路設計者所須的電 容。 以上雖以實施例說明本發明,但並不因此限定本發明 之範圍,只要不脫離本發明之要旨,該行業者可進行各種 15 1323473 .* 變形或變更。 , 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖為一習知電容結構的立體圖。 第2圖為本發明電容結構之第一實施例的立體圖。 .- 第3圖為本發明電容結構之第一實施例的俯視圖。 . 第4圖為本發明電容結構之第二實施例的立體圖。 第5圖為本發明電容結構之第二實施例的俯視圖。 # 第6圖為本發明電容結構之第三實施例的立體圖。 圖式編號 100、300、400、600 電容結構 310 、 320 、 410 330 ' 430 ' 630 331 ' 431 ' 631 332 ' 432 > 632 φ 333 、 433 、 633 334 ' 434 ' 634 420、610、620 電容層 電容單元 金屬島柱 金屬側壁 介電層 插塞In addition, please continue to refer to Fig. 5, the metal island column 4 3 1 has a plug 434, and the metal sidewall 432 is respectively provided with a plug 434 at its four corners. It should be noted here that the capacitor structure 40 本 of the present embodiment is different from the capacitor structure 300 described above in that the relative positions of the capacitor layers 410 and 420 are different from those of the capacitor layers 310 and 320 described above. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the metal sidewall 432 located on the capacitor layer 41 is connected to the metal island pillar 431' of the capacitor layer 42 by a plug 434 located at four corners. The metal sidewalls 432 of the layer 420 are connected to the metal island pillars 431 of the capacitor layer 41 by plugs 434 located at the four corners. Therefore, in this embodiment, the metal sidewalls 432 of the two adjacent capacitor layers 41〇, 42〇 have different electrical characteristics, and the two adjacent capacitor layers and the metal island pillars 431 of (4) also have different electrical properties, However, for the same capacitive layer, the inner metal island 431 and the metal sidewall W have different electrical properties. Therefore, for each of the capacitor units 43A, since the metal island pillars 431 and the metal sidewalls 432 therein can ensure that they respectively correspond to different electrical properties, a capacitance effect can also be generated between them. For different residential 12 1323473 • metal sidewalls 432, since the metal sidewalls 432 of the two adjacent capacitor layers 410, 420 correspond to different electrical properties, there is also a capacitive effect between the metal sidewalls 432 of different layers; There is also a capacitive effect between the metal island pillars 43 1 of different layers. As a result, the capacitive effect that the overall capacitive structure 400 can achieve is greatly increased. For example, if the metal sidewall 432 in the capacitor layer 4 10 corresponds to a positive potential and the metal island column 43 1 in the capacitor layer corresponds to a negative potential, then in the embodiment, the capacitor layer 420 The metal sidewalls 432 all correspond to a negative potential 'and the metal islands 43 1 of the capacitor layer 420 all correspond to a positive potential. As described above, each capacitor unit 430 can generate a capacitive effect by its internal metal island 431 and metal sidewall 432, and the metal sidewall 432 or metal island 431 of the different capacitor layers 410, 420 are also Another capacitive effect can be created, so that for the overall capacitive structure 400, its overall capacitive effect not only has the sum of the capacitive effects produced by all of the capacitive units 330, but also has the metal sidewalls 432 or metal of the different capacitive layers 410, 420. The sum of the known capacitive effects produced by the island column 43 1 . Similarly, in order to have the metal sidewall 432 and the metal island pillar 431 have a predetermined potential as described above, generally, the capacitor structure 4 further includes at least one power layer (P〇wer Layer) located on the semiconductor substrate. The power layer can be connected to the metal sidewall 432 through a plurality of plugs, so that the metal sidewall 432 can provide the conductive wall with a predetermined potential to have a predetermined electrical property. Please note that since the structure and operation of the power supply layer are well known in the art, it should be understood that those skilled in the art should understand this and will not be further described herein. 13 1323473. Further, the capacitor structure 400 of the second embodiment of the present invention is preferably implemented in a process of less than 1.8 μm to reduce the pitch of each component in the capacitor structure to enhance the capacitance structure. 4〇〇 The overall capacitive effect available. Please note that for the sake of simplicity, in the foregoing disclosure, the capacitor structures 300, 400 comprise two capacitor layers. However, in practical applications, the capacitor structure can be adapted to the designer's needs. If there is a corresponding capacitive effect, for example, since a single capacitor unit 330, 430 already has a corresponding capacitive effect, if there is already a sufficient amount of capacitance in a single capacitor layer. Capacitor unit, then the capacitor structure can be implemented with only one capacitor layer; on the other hand, the capacitor structure can also have more capacitor layers according to the designer's needs, and then get a larger capacitance. The value, such a corresponding change, is also the invention of the present invention. The invention does not limit the size of the metal island column and the metal sidewall and does not limit the position and number of the plug. Although the metal side wall in the road is a square side wall 1, this is an example, not a limitation of the present invention. Since in the actual process, 6 is not easy to implement from the side walls of the square, as shown in Figures 2 to 5, the metal island column can have some errors at the four corners. There is no need to be a complete square. Eight can be made according to the simplicity of the production... more sturdy, not limited to the square. Near-the size of a plug, however, the size of the *2* island column is easy to connect. The size of the m-like sample is not easy to be used in the actual process. Therefore, gold, and the island column can also be used. The size is increased to facilitate the use of 14 1323473. Here, please refer to FIG. 6, which is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the capacitor structure of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 6, in the capacitor structure _ each metal island column 631 has been enlarged to a wall structure, and a plurality of plugs 634 are also constructed thereon to ensure the electric disk The timing of the timing is consistent; the corresponding change of this is also the spirit of 2, the teeth are not known. In addition, in practical applications, the metal sidewalls can also have more/smaller plugs; for example, if the metal The sidewall has a larger size. For example, the size of the sidewall 632 of the first embodiment is larger than that of the foregoing embodiment, and more plugs (four) may be disposed on the sidewall 632 of the gold layer. In this way, both the metal sidewall and the metal island column can ensure the electrical properties of the electrical spot material by using more plugs to ensure a positive capacitance effect between each other; Corresponding changes are also within the scope of the invention. It should be noted here that although in the foregoing disclosure, the metal island pillar metal sidewalls are composed of metal; however, such an approach is merely an embodiment of the invention and not a limitation of the invention. In practical applications, the metal island pillars and metal sidewalls may be made of other conductive materials, and such relative strain 'is also within the scope of the present invention. Compared with the prior art, the present invention proposes another capacitor structure to obtain a better capacitance value in a smaller wafer area, so that the present invention can construct a circuit design in a limited wafer area. The capacitance required. The present invention has been described above by way of examples, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.
