A method of producing a Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) capacitor stack through doping to achieve low current leakage and low equivalent oxide thickness is disclosed. A high K dielectric material is deposited on a non-noble electrode; the dielectric material is doped with oxides from group IIA. The dopant increases the barrier height of metal/insulator interface and neutralizes free electrons in dielectric material, therefore reduces the leakage current of MIM capacitor. The electrode may also be doped to increase work function while maintaining a rutile crystalline structure. The method thereby enhances the performance of DRAM MIM capacitor.
