具体实施方式
下面将结合附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
图1示出了本申请一个实施例的电容器100的示意图。
电容器100为晶圆级3D电容器，图1为其截面图。
如图1所示，电容器100可以包括第一电极110，第二电极120，叠层结构130和互联结构150。
第一电极110和第二电极120为电容器100的正负两个电极。第一电极110和第二电极120相互分离，形成电极层。第一电极110和第二电极120的材料可以采用各种导电材料，例如金属铝。
叠层结构130，包括n层电介质层和n+1层导电层。n为正整数。可选地，在一个实施例中，n为5，即，叠层结构130可以包括6层导电层，例如图1中示出的导电层131-136，以及5层电介质层，例如图1中示出的电介质层137-141。
如图1所示，所述n层电介质层和所述n+1层导电层形成导电层与电介质层彼此相邻的结构，即，所述叠层结构130为导电层与电介质层交替堆叠的叠层结构。由于导电层多一层，所述叠层结构130的最上层和最下层为导电层。
另外，所述叠层结构130形成至少两个柱状结构，例如，如图1中所示的第一柱状结构145和第二柱状结构146。
可选地，所述柱状结构可以为长方体结构(包括墙体结构)或圆柱体结构。
柱状结构的存在，相当于增加了电容器的极板面积，因此有利于提高电容器的电容值。
可选地，叠层结构130中的电介质层的材料可以是硅的氧化物，硅的氮化物，金属的氧化物，金属的氮化物等，例如二氧化硅，氮化硅，或者高介电常数材料，包括氧化铝，氧化铪，氧化锆，二氧化钛，Y 2O 3，La 2O 3，HfSiO 4，LaAlO 3，SrTiO 3，LaLuO 3等；也可以是上述一种材料或多种材料的组合。
可选地，叠层结构130中的导电层的材料可以是重掺杂多晶硅，碳材料， 或者是铝、钨、铜、钛、钽等各类金属，也可以是氮化钛、氮化钽等低电阻率的化合物，或者是上述几种导电材料的叠层、组合。
互联结构150，用于将所述n+1层导电层中的奇数层导电层电连接至所述第一电极110，将所述n+1层导电层中的偶数层导电层电连接至所述第二电极120。
应理解，在本申请实施例中，所涉及的导电层的顺序可以为从叠层结构140的一侧到另一侧的顺序，例如，从上到下的顺序或者是从下到上的顺序。为了便于描述，以下以从下到上的顺序为例进行说明。例如，图1中，导电层131-136分别为第1-6层导电层。
如图1所示，导电层131-136中的奇数层导电层，即第1，3，5层导电层通过互联结构150电连接至所述第一电极110，导电层131-136中的偶数层导电层，即第2，4，6层导电层通过互联结构150电连接至所述第二电极120。
互联结构150的材料可以采用各种导电材料，可以与叠层结构130中的导电层的材料相同或不同，例如，可以采用氮化钛和金属钨。
可选地，在本申请一个实施例中，所述至少两个柱状结构包括至少一个第一柱状结构145和至少一个第二柱状结构146，其中，所述第一柱状结构145的尺寸大于所述第二柱状结构146的尺寸。也就是说，对于电容器100，其包括两种尺寸的柱状结构。
在本申请实施例中，柱状结构的尺寸可以为柱状结构的宽度，即图1中横向的宽度。
例如，第一柱状结构145的尺寸可以为20微米，第二柱状结构146的尺寸可以为2微米，但本申请实施例对此并不限定。
可选地，在本申请一个实施例中，如图1所示，所述至少两个柱状结构包括一个所述第一柱状结构145和至少两个所述第二柱状结构146。
可选地，所述第二柱状结构146的深宽比大于预定阈值。例如，所述预定阈值可以为10；所述第二柱状结构的深宽比可以为30。
从提高容值密度的角度来说，采用较多深宽比大的小尺寸柱状结构能够最大限度的提高容值密度。然而，小尺寸柱状结构不便于设置互联结构150，因此，可以采用一个大尺寸的柱状结构设置互联结构150。也就是说，采用一个大尺寸的第一柱状结构145和多个小尺寸的第二柱状结构146，既便于 设置互联结构150，又能较大限度的提高容值密度。
可选地，在本申请一个实施例中，如图1所示，所述互联结构150在所述第一柱状结构145的顶端与所述n+1层导电层连接。
可选地，在本申请一个实施例中，如图2所示，所述互联结构150在所述第一柱状结构145的顶端以及所述叠层结构130的下方与所述n+1层导电层连接。
在前述实施例中，互联结构150仅设置在第一柱状结构145的位置处。在本实施例中，可以将互联结构150的一部分分散设置到所述叠层结构130的下方。在所述叠层结构130的下方分散设置一部分互联结构较容易实现，这样可以减少第一柱状结构145处设置的互联结构，从而可以减小第一柱状结构145的尺寸，进一步提高容值密度。
应理解，除了互联结构150的设置不同外，图2和图1的其他设置相同，为了简洁，不再赘述。
如图1和图2所示，所述叠层结构130设置有台阶结构，所述互联结构150通过所述台阶结构与所述n+1层导电层连接。台阶结构的设置，便于不同导电层之间的连接隔离。
可选地，在本申请一个实施例中，如图1和图2所示，所述电容器100还可以包括：
绝缘层160，设置于所述叠层结构130的上方以及下方。
应理解，叠层结构的上方以及下方是相对于叠层结构的整体而言的，也就是说，叠层结构的上方指叠层结构顶层的上方，叠层结构的下方指叠层结构底层的下方。
在这种情况下，所述互联结构150为穿过所述绝缘层160分别连接至所述n+1层导电层的导电通孔。
如图1和图2所示，通过在绝缘层160中设置导电通孔，可以实现第一电极110和第二电极120到相应导电层的电连接。
可选地，绝缘层160的材料可以是有机的聚合物材料，包括聚酰亚胺(Polyimide)，帕里纶(Parylene)，苯并环丁烯(BCB)等；也可以是一些无机材料，包括旋转涂布玻璃(Spin on glass，SOG)，未掺杂硅玻璃(Undoped Silicon Glass，USG)，由四乙氧基硅烷(Tetraethyl Orthosilicate，TEOS)合成的硅氧化物，硅的氧化物、氮化物，陶瓷；还可以是上述材料的组合。
图3示出了本申请实施例的电容器100的等效电路图。
以n为5为例，如图3所示，交替堆叠的6层导电层和5层电介质层等效于5个互相串联的电容器(每层电介质层对应一个电容器)。在采用本申请实施例的互联结构150后，这5个电容器并联，得到本申请实施例的电容器100。因此，本申请实施例的电容器100具有较大的电容值。
本申请实施例的电容器，采用导电层与电介质层交替堆叠的叠层结构，并设置多个柱状结构，能够在较小器件尺寸的情况下得到较大的电容值，从而能够提高电容器的容值密度。
以上描述了本申请实施例的电容器，下面描述本申请实施例的制备电容器的方法。本申请实施例的制备电容器的方法可以制备前述本申请实施例的电容器，下述实施例和前述实施例中的相关描述可以相互参考。
图4示出了本申请实施例的制备电容器的方法400的示意性流程图。
401，在衬底上制备多个孔或沟槽，得到第一结构。
如图5所示，选用硅晶圆作为衬底510，在衬底510正面，利用光刻，例如先在晶圆上涂覆光刻胶，再经过曝光、显影，然后利用深反应离子刻蚀(Deep Reactive Ion Etching，DRIE)工艺，加工出多个孔或沟槽。
可选地，所述多个孔或沟槽包括第一孔或沟槽以及第二孔或沟槽，所述第一孔或沟槽的尺寸大于所述第二孔或沟槽的尺寸。也就是说，所述多个孔或沟槽包括一大一小两种尺寸的孔或沟槽。
可选地，所述第二孔或沟槽的深宽比大于预定阈值。
作为一个举例，第一孔或沟槽的开口宽度可以为20微米，深度可以为100微米，第二孔或沟槽的开口宽度可以为2微米，深度可以为50微米。

例如，如图7所示，可以采用低压力化学气相沉积(Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition，LPCVD)工艺，在腐蚀保护层610表面沉积一层200纳米厚的重掺杂多晶硅作为导电层133；用ALD工艺，在导电层133表面沉积一层50纳米厚的氧化铝作为电介质层138；用LPCVD工艺，在电介质层138表面沉积一层200纳米厚的重掺杂多晶硅作为导电层132；用ALD工艺，在导电层132表面沉积一层50纳米厚的氧化铝作为电介质层137；用LPCVD工艺，在电介质层137表面沉积一层500纳米厚的重掺杂多晶硅作为导电层131。最后，得到如图7所示结构。可选地，小孔或沟槽可被填满，大或沟槽未被填满。
404，在所述第一叠层结构上制备第一绝缘层，得到第二结构。
例如，如图8所示，可以采用CVD工艺，在导电层131表面沉积一层厚的二氧化硅作为第一绝缘层161，将大孔或沟槽填满。
可选地，还可以将所述第一绝缘层161的表面磨平。例如，可以利用化学机械抛光(Chemical Mechanical Polishing，CMP)工艺，将第一绝缘层161表面磨平，得到如图8所示的第二结构。
405，将所述第二结构翻转。
可选地，如图9所示，还可以将所述第一绝缘层161的表面键合到载片910上，图9中第一绝缘层161和载片910之间为键合层920。
例如，可以通过键合工艺，例如，玻璃浆料键合(glass frit bonding)，将第一绝缘层161的表面，键合在载片910上。
406，去除所述衬底，露出所述第一叠层结构。
所述衬底可以利用湿法腐蚀，或者湿法腐蚀与干法刻蚀结合的工艺去除。
例如，可以先用80摄氏度的高浓度KOH溶液，去除衬底，露出刻蚀保护层；再用氢氟酸溶液，去除刻蚀保护层，露出第一叠层结构的导电层133，如图10所示。
407，在所述第一叠层结构上制备第二叠层结构。
所述第二叠层结构包括k层电介质层和k层导电层，所述k层电介质层和所述k层导电层形成导电层与电介质层彼此相邻的结构，且与所述第一叠层结构形成导电层与电介质层彼此相邻的叠层结构，所述叠层结构在孔或沟槽处形成柱状结构，k为正整数。
所述第二叠层结构的制备方式与所述第一叠层结构类似。
例如，如图11所示，可以采用ALD工艺，在导电层133表面沉积一层50纳米后的氧化铝作为电介质层139；用LPCVD工艺，在电介质层139表面沉积一层200纳米厚的重掺杂多晶硅作为导电层134；用ALD工艺，在导电层134表面沉积一层50纳米厚的氧化铝作为电介质层140；用LPCVD工艺，在电介质层140表面沉积一层200纳米厚的重掺杂多晶硅作为导电层135；用ALD工艺，在导电层135表面沉积一层50纳米后的氧化铝作为电介质层141；用LPCVD工艺，在电介质层141表面沉积一层200纳米厚的重掺杂多晶硅作为导电层136。最后，得到如图11所示结构。

可选地，作为另一个实施例，如图13所示，所述第二绝缘层162的表面磨平至露出所述第二叠层结构最上方的导电层136。这样可以节省后续的刻蚀步骤，降低成本。
409，制备第一互联结构。
可选地，第一互联结构可以采用下述方式制备。

沉积第一刻蚀停止层。例如，如图15所示，可以利用CVD工艺，沉积一层氮化硅作为第一刻蚀停止层1510。
在所述第一刻蚀停止层1510上沉积第三绝缘层163。所述第一刻蚀停止层1510的耐刻蚀性大于所述第三绝缘层163。例如，可以利用CVD工艺，在第一刻蚀停止层1510上沉积一层厚的二氧化硅作为第三绝缘层163。
针对特定导电层，刻蚀所述第三绝缘层163，得到穿过所述第三绝缘层163至所述第一台阶结构上的所述第一刻蚀停止层1510的孔。例如，可以通过光刻工艺，在每个台阶对应的位置，打开穿透第三绝缘层163的导通孔。由于第一刻蚀停止层1510的材料相对于第三绝缘层163更耐刻蚀，因此可以将每个导通孔的底部停留在相应台阶的第一刻蚀停止层1510上。
去除所述孔内的所述第一刻蚀停止层。例如，可以利用干法或者湿法工艺去除孔底部露出的第一刻蚀停止层。
在所述孔内沉积金属，得到穿过所述第三绝缘层163和所述第一刻蚀停止层1510连接至特定导电层的导电通孔。例如，可以在孔中沉积一层氮化钛并填充金属钨。最后利用平坦化工艺去除表面多余的导电材料和绝缘材料，得到如图16所示结构。
410，制备第一电极和第二电极。
所述第一电极电连接至m+k+1层导电层中的奇数层导电层，所述第二电极电连接至所述m+k+1层导电层中的偶数层导电层。
例如，如图17所示，可以利用PVD工艺，沉积一层金属铝，利用光刻形成第一电极110和第二电极120，其中第一电极110连通导电层131，导电层133和导电层135；第二电极120连通导电层132，导电层134和导电层136。
411，减薄所述载片或者去除所述载片和键合层。
通过该步骤降低器件的厚度。一种实现方式中，可以去除键合层以及载片，去除键合层以及载片后，得到如图1所示的电容器。另一种实现方式中，在不能去除载片和键合层的情况下，可以对载片进行减薄处理。
在上述实施例中，通过制备包括分别连接至全部导电层的导电通孔的第一互联结构，可以得到如图1所示的电容器。在这种情况下，所述第一电极110通过所述第一互联结构电连接所述奇数层导电层，所述第二电极120通过所述第一互联结构电连接至所述偶数层导电层。
可选地，对于如图2所示的电容器，可以通过在叠层结构的两面分别制备包括分别连接至部分导电层的导电通孔的第一互联结构和第二互联结构得到。
具体地，可以在制备第一叠层结构之后，制备第二互联结构。
可选地，第二互联结构可以采用下述方式制备。应理解，除以下描述外， 其他可参考第一互联结构的制备方式。
在制备第一绝缘层161之前，刻蚀所述第一叠层结构，形成第二台阶结构，露出待连接的导电层。
沉积第二刻蚀停止层1520。
所述第二刻蚀停止层1520的耐刻蚀性大于所述第一绝缘层161。
在制备第一绝缘层161之后，针对特定导电层，刻蚀所述第一绝缘层161，得到穿过所述第一绝缘层161至所述第二台阶结构上的所述第二刻蚀停止层1520的孔。
去除所述孔内的所述第二刻蚀停止层。
在所述孔内沉积金属，得到穿过所述第一绝缘层161和所述第二刻蚀停止层1520连接至特定导电层的导电通孔，并形成待连接导电层之间的金属互联。
可选地，在制备第二互联结构之后，还可以在所述第二互联结构上制备第四绝缘层164。
在本实施例中，第一互联结构和第二互联结构均包括分别连接至部分导电层的导电通孔，所述第一电极110通过所述第一互联结构和所述第二互联结构电连接所述奇数层导电层，所述第二电极120通过所述第一互联结构电连接至所述偶数层导电层。
通过上述方式可以在一个晶圆上制备多个电容器，再通过切割得到独立的电容器。
本发明实施例的制备电容器的方法，通过两次制备叠层结构的方式，可以得到包括较多导电层和电介质层的叠层结构，增大电容器的电容值，并且，利用多个孔或沟槽形成叠层结构的多个柱状结构，可以进一步增大电容器的电容值，从而能够提高电容器的容值密度。
