Definitions

  • the invention relates to an integrated capacitor arrangement containing at least one circuitry-effective main capacitor.
  • Layer application methods and layer patterning methods are used as fabrication techniques for integrated arrangements.
  • a capacitor contains two electrodes opposite one another between which a dielectric is arranged.
  • Examples of integrated capacitors are:
  • circuitry-effective capacitors serve as:
  • the intention is to specify a set of grid capacitors.
  • the set according to the invention contains at least two integrated capacitor arrangements, which have been produced in accordance with identical geometrical designs or layouts and which each contain a circuitry-effective main capacitor and at least one correction capacitor.
  • One capacitor arrangement contains an electrically conductive connection between the correction capacitor and the main capacitor, the connection having been produced after the production of the main capacitor of this capacitor arrangement.
  • the other capacitor arrangement contains an electrically insulating interruption between the same correction capacitor and the main capacitor, the interruption having been produced in accordance with the geometrical designs.
  • connection is produced in a simple manner by local heating, so that components in proximity to the connection are protected from an increased thermal loading.
  • permanent links can be produced by local heating in a simple manner. Compared with the production of interruption by local heating, links can be implemented by local heating at lower temperatures. The thermal loading is thus low, particularly during the production of a multiplicity of links on a semiconductor wafer.
  • the local heating is carried out for example with the aid of a laser beam.
  • This correction possibility allows integrated capacitor arrangements with predetermined capacitance values to be produced in a simple manner.
  • the connection contains two interconnect sections which are spaced apart from one another and between which only a dielectric is arranged.
  • the materials of the interconnect sections and of the dielectric are chosen such that material warpages of the interconnect which penetrate through the dielectric arise during the heating.
  • the dielectric contains doping atoms which change the conductivity of the dielectric during the heating. Activation of the doping atoms is an expression that is also used in this context.
  • an antifuse there are also other possibilities for producing the connection, which is also referred to as an antifuse.
  • the circuit arrangements contain at least one further correction capacitor, which is disconnected from the main capacitor or has been connected to the main capacitor.
  • a further interruption for disconnecting the further correction capacitor is produced by local heating.
  • the local heating can be carried out, for example, with the aid of a laser beam or with the aid of a current surge through an interconnect constriction.
  • dielectrics of the capacitors are formed by a dielectric between metallization layers in which connection sections of connections to integrated semiconductor components of the integrated capacitor arrangement are situated. It is possible to use a different dielectric in the region of the capacitor than in the remaining region between the metallization layers, e.g. a dielectric having a higher dielectric constant. Examples of such capacitors are stacked capacitors or grid capacitors. In other words, the electrodes of a capacitor lie in more than two metallization layers. In the case of such capacitors, in one configuration, not only electrodes in the topmost metallization layer but also electrodes in lower metallization layers are disconnected in terms of circuitry or added in terms of circuitry during the correction.
  • the linking elements and interruptions for the lower electrodes are situated either in the lower metallization layer, so that it is necessary, for example, to provide cutouts of corresponding depth for a laser beam, or in an upper metallization layer, to which connections from the lower metallization layer lead.
  • dielectrics of the capacitors have a thickness which is significantly less than the thickness of the dielectric between metallization layers.
  • capacitors are MIM capacitors.
  • at least one electrode of the capacitor lies outside a metallization layer.
  • the capacitance of a correction capacitor amounts to less than 1 ⁇ 3, less than 1/10, less than 1/100 or less than 1/1000 of the capacitance of a main capacitor. This measure means that fine trimming is possible.
  • the capacitance values of two capacitor arrangements of the same integrated circuit arrangement can be coordinated with one another very precisely. This is absolutely necessary for some applications.
  • the invention additionally relates to a set of grid capacitors with correction transverse electrodes. Individual transverse electrodes of the grid capacitors also afford a possibility for correction of the capacitance during the production. The abovementioned technical effects therefore apply particularly to the grid capacitors.
