Abstract:
A MIM capacitor includes a bottom plate (212), a capacitor dielectric (214) disposed over the bottom plate, and a top plate (216) disposed over the capacitor dielectric. An etch stop material (218) is disposed over the top plate, and the top plate has a width that is less than the width of the etch stop material width. The top plate edges may be pulled back during the removal of the resist (220) used to pattern the top plate, by the addition of chemistries in the resist etch that are adapted to pull-back or undercut the top plate edges (224) beneath the etch stop material.
Abstract:
In a method of fabricating a semiconductor device, a level of metal is formed within an interval dielectric. The level of metal includes a first metal line separated from a second metal line by a region of the interlevel dielectric. The region of interlevel dielectric is removed between the first metal line and the second metal line. A high-k dielectric is formed between the first metal line and the second metal line in the region where the interlevel dielectric was removed such that a capacitor is formed by the first metal line, the second metal line and the high-k dielectric.
