Patent ID: 7602027

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor component, comprising: providing a substrate, wherein providing the substrate includes forming a resistor from or above the substrate; forming a capacitor at a first level above the substrate by: forming a first layer of dielectric material over the substrate; forming a first layer of conductive material over the first layer of dielectric material, the first layer of conductive material comprising aluminum and having first and second portions; forming a second layer dielectric material over the first layer of conductive material; and forming a second layer of conductive material over the second layer of dielectric material, the second layer of conductive material comprising aluminum; and forming an inductor at a second level above the first level by: forming a third layer of dielectric material over the second layer of conductive material; forming at least one damascene opening in the third layer of dielectric material by: forming a fourth layer of dielectric material on the third layer of dielectric material; forming a first portion of the at least one damascene opening in the third layer of dielectric material; and forming a second portion of the at least one damascene opening in the fourth layer of dielectric material, wherein the second portion of the at least one damascene opening exposes a portion of the second layer of conductive material; forming copper in the at least one damascene opening and further including: forming an active device from the substrate; forming an opening in the first layer of dielectric material, the opening exposing the active device; forming an electrical conductor in the opening; forming the second portion of the first layer of conductive material on the conductor; electrically isolating the first portion of the first layer of conductive material from the second portion of the first layer of conductive material; and forming a trench through the second, third and fourth layers of dielectric material, the trench exposing the second portion of the first layer of conductive material.
