Formation of dram capacitor among metal interconnect

Номер: US20130271938A1
Принадлежит: Intel Corp

Techniques are disclosed for integrating capacitors among the metal interconnect for embedded DRAM applications. In some embodiments, the technique uses a wet etch to completely remove the interconnect metal (e.g., copper) that is exposed prior to the capacitor formation. This interconnect metal removal precludes that metal from contaminating the hi-k dielectric of the capacitor. Another benefit is increased height (surface area) of the capacitor, which allows for increased charge storage. In one example embodiment, an integrated circuit device is provided that includes a substrate having at least a portion of a DRAM bit cell circuitry, an interconnect layer on the substrate and including one or more metal-containing interconnect features, and a capacitor at least partly in the interconnect layer and occupying space from which a metal-containing interconnect feature was removed.

Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for depositing alternating layers of dielectric material and sacrificial material in repeating iterations to form a vertical stack, forming a plurality of vertical openings through the vertical stack to form elongated vertical, pillar columns with sidewalls in the vertical stack, patterning the pillar columns to expose a location to form a channel region, selectively removing a portion of the sacrificial material to form first horizontal openings in the first horizontal direction in the sidewalls of the elongated vertical, pillar columns, and depositing a channel material in the first horizontal openings to form the channel region within the sidewalls for the horizontally oriented access devices.
