Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more apparent, the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the present application is given with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application and not exhaustive of all the embodiments. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.
A conventional MIM capacitor is typically formed of two layers of metal plates and an insulating medium between the metal plates, and when the MMIC chip integrates the MIM capacitor, as shown in fig. 1, a first metal plate 1034 of the MIM capacitor is connected to a top metal 1036 through a top metal via 1035. A SiN dielectric layer 1033 is between the first metal plate 1034 and the second metal plate 1032 of the MIM capacitor. The second metal plate 1032 of the MIM capacitor is connected to metal layer 1031 by a conductive via. The metal layer 1031 is connected to the low-resistance substrate 1039 through a connection via 1037, wherein the connection via 1037 is connected to the low-resistance substrate 1039 through an epitaxial layer 1038 on the low-resistance substrate 1039. The capacitance of the MIM capacitor is limited by the thickness and material of the insulating medium, so that the capacitance density of the MIM capacitor is difficult to be increased without changing the withstand voltage and the material, and the cost is often increased to increase the capacitance density of the MIM capacitor. How to realize low cost and increase capacitance density of the capacitor, thereby reducing the area of the MMIC chip is a difficult problem in the field of semiconductors.
Based on this, the present application improves the capacitor to easily obtain a capacitor having a higher capacitance density at a lower cost.
Embodiment one:

The coupling capacitor module comprises at least one coupling capacitor, and each coupling capacitor is respectively connected with the MIM capacitor in parallel; the plates of each coupling capacitor are at different heights in the thickness direction of the MIM capacitor.
By adopting the capacitor provided by the embodiment of the application, the capacitance density of the capacitor is improved by forming the coupling capacitor and enabling the coupling capacitor to be connected with the MIM capacitor in parallel. The multi-layer metal field plate is a general design of a plurality of LDMOS devices, and because each polar plate of each coupling capacitor is positioned at different heights in the thickness direction of the MIM capacitor, the polar plate of the coupling capacitor can be manufactured by using a mask used for manufacturing the metal field plate of the LDMOS device, and the capacitance density can be improved on the premise of not increasing the mask of the device. Thus, the embodiments of the present application facilitate obtaining capacitors with higher capacitance densities at lower cost.
Further, each of the coupling capacitor and the MIM capacitor is at a different height in a MIM capacitor thickness direction, respectively. Because the coupling capacitor and the MIM capacitor are in different layers, when the capacitor is arranged on the MMIC, the coupling capacitor is easy to be arranged below the MIM capacitor. The more the coupling capacitance is concentrated below the MIM capacitance, the more the MMIC chip area is not enlarged, so that the capacitance density of the capacitance is improved, and the MMIC chip area is convenient to have smaller design space.

Further, in the case of a multilayer field plate layer, adjacent field plate layers form a coupling capacitance.
Further, the coupling capacitance module further includes: and the gate metal layer, a field plate layer nearest to the gate metal layer and the gate metal layer form a coupling capacitor.
Optionally, the coupling capacitor module comprises a metal layer and a field plate layer; the metal layer and the polar plate of the MIM capacitor form a coupling capacitor; the field plate layer and the metal layer form a coupling capacitance.
Optionally, the coupling capacitor module includes a metal layer, two field plate layers and a gate metal layer; the metal layer and the polar plate of the MIM capacitor form a coupling capacitor; the field plate layer nearest to the metal layer and the metal layer form a coupling capacitor; the two field plate layers form a coupling capacitor; the field plate layer closest to the gate metal layer and the gate metal layer form a coupling capacitance.
Optionally, the coupling capacitor module comprises two field plate layers and a gate metal layer; the two field plate layers form a coupling capacitor; the field plate layer closest to the gate metal layer and the gate metal layer form a coupling capacitance.

A first gate metal layer 208 is located below the second field plate layer 207. The first field plate layer 215 and the second field plate layer 207 are hollowed out in the thickness direction to form a first cavity and a second cavity, respectively, and the fifth conductive via 212 passes through the first cavity and the second cavity to connect the first gate metal layer 208 and the second metal layer 221. A capacitive medium is arranged between the first gate metal layer 208 and the second field plate layer 207, such that the first gate metal layer 208, the second field plate layer 207 and the capacitive medium therebetween form a fourth coupling capacitance.

The capacitor of the embodiment is suitable for being applied to MMICs integrated with LDMOS devices of double-layer field plate structures. When the capacitor is manufactured on the MMIC, a Mask (Mask) for manufacturing a metal field plate in the double-layer field plate structure LDMOS device is conveniently used for manufacturing a field plate layer of the coupling capacitor, and the field plate layer is used as a polar plate of the coupling capacitor, namely the first field plate layer and the second field plate layer of the embodiment. Therefore, the capacitance density can be effectively improved on the premise of not increasing the Mask and the area of the MMIC device. The above embodiments utilize field plate-gate metal layers, field plate-field plate, field plate-metal layers, and metal layer-metal layer coupling capacitances to greatly increase capacitance per unit area. The second metal layer is downwards perforated, so that the junction resistance of the thin metal first field plate layer and the grid metal layer is reduced, and the Q value of the capacitor is improved. And because the first field plate layer is raised by the field oxide layer, the first field plate layer is closer to the first metal layer, and the capacitance density is further improved.
