Patent ID: 11563091

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate comprising a first material, a first major surface, and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, the first material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). A filled recessed structure having recesses extends into the substrate and has a pattern in a plan view. The recesses are spaced apart so that part of the substrate is interposed between each of the recesses, and a second material different than the first material is in the recesses. The second material has a second CTE. A structure is proximate to the first major surface over the filled recessed structure and has a third CTE. The third CTE and the second CTE are different than the first CTE. The filled recessed structure reduces stresses between the substrate and structure. In some examples, the structure comprises a MIM capacitor. In other examples, the structure comprises a heterojunction semiconductor material.
