Application: Energy harvest and storage device for semiconductor chips and methods for forming the same (Patent ID: US20230361057A1)
The patent filed by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd describes a semiconductor structure that combines an energy harvesting device and an energy storage structure utilizing heat from adjacent semiconductor devices or other heat sources. The structure includes a parallel connection of a first component with a diode and a capacitor, and a second component with a battery structure. The capacitor can be a metal-ferroelectric-metal or metal-antiferroelectric-metal capacitor, while the diode consists of p-doped and n-doped semiconductor material layers.
The semiconductor structure also includes metal interconnect structures providing electrically conductive paths between the components, as well as a power source and switch for applying a DC bias voltage. Additionally, the structure comprises a layer stack with battery electrodes, an energy storage medium, a diode layer stack, and capacitor electrodes. The method of forming the semiconductor structure involves creating a layer stack on a substrate with specific components in a forward or reverse order, along with forming metal interconnect structures and dielectric layers over the substrate. The method also includes forming trenches in the substrate and electrically connecting different elements within the structure.
