/Shielded Deep Trench Capacitor Structure And Methods Of Forming The Same
Abstract

A moat trench laterally surrounding a device region is formed in a substrate. A conductive metallic substrate enclosure structure is formed in the moat trench. Deep trenches are formed in the substrate, and a trench capacitor structure is formed in the deep trenches. The substrate may be thinned by removing a backside portion of the substrate. A backside surface of the conductive metallic substrate enclosure structure is physically exposed. A backside metal layer is formed on a backside surface of the substrate and a backside surface of the conductive metallic substrate enclosure structure. A metallic interconnect enclosure structure and a metallic cap plate may be formed to provide a metallic shield structure configured to block electromagnetic radiation from impinging into the trench capacitor structure.
