Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) with an integrated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) structure is provided. In some embodiments, the IC comprises a semiconductor substrate, a back-end-of-line (BEOL) interconnect structure, the integrated MEMS structure, and a cavity. The BEOL interconnect structure is over the semiconductor substrate, and comprises wiring layers stacked in a dielectric region. Further, an upper surface of the BEOL interconnect structure is planar or substantially planar. The integrated MEMS structure overlies and directly contacts the upper surface of the BEOL interconnect structure, and comprises an electrode layer. The cavity is under the upper surface of the BEOL interconnect structure, between the MEMS structure and the BEOL interconnect structure.

Claim (Index 8):
The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the forming of the BEOL interconnect structure and the sacrificial layer comprises:\n forming the dielectric layer over the semiconductor substrate; patterning the dielectric layer to form a trench; and forming the sacrificial layer covering the dielectric layer and filling the trench, wherein the planarization is performed into the sacrificial layer until the dielectric layer is reached.
