Method for selective fabrication of high capacitance density areas in a low
dielectric constant material and related structure are disclosed. In one embodiment,
a first area of a dielectric layer is covered while a second area of the dielectric
layer is exposed to a dielectric conversion source. The exposure causes the dielectric
constant of the dielectric layer in the second area to increase. A number of interconnect
trenches are etched in the first area of the dielectric and a number of capacitor
trenches are etched in the second area of the dielectric. The interconnect trenches
and the capacitor trenches are then filled with an appropriate metal, such as copper,
and a chemical mechanical polish is performed. The second area in which the capacitor
trenches have been etched and filled has a higher capacitance density relative
to the first area.
