Methods are provided for fabricating semiconductor IC (integrated circuit)
chips having high-Q on-chip capacitors formed on the chip back-side and
connected to integrated circuits on the chip front-side using
through-wafer interconnects. In one aspect, a semiconductor device
includes a semiconductor substrate having a front side, a back side, and
a buried insulating layer interposed between the front and back sides of
the substrate. An integrated circuit is formed on the front side of the
semiconductor substrate, an integrated capacitor is formed on the back
side of the semiconductor substrate, and an interconnection structure is
formed through the buried insulating layer to connect the integrated
capacitor to the integrated circuit.
