  • Patent number: 12616021
    Abstract: Metal insulator metal capacitors are described. In an example, a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor includes a first electrode that includes a bottom region and a pair of vertical regions. First metal layers are outside the vertical regions and in contact with the vertical regions. An insulator is over the first electrode. A second electrode is over the insulator. A second metal layer is on a top surface of the second electrode.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240395695
    Abstract: Metal insulator metal capacitors are described. In an example, a capacitor includes a first electrode plate, and a first capacitor dielectric on the first electrode plate. A second electrode plate is on the first capacitor dielectric and is over and parallel with the first electrode plate, and a second capacitor dielectric is on the second electrode plate. A third electrode plate is on the second capacitor dielectric and is over and parallel with the second electrode plate, and a third capacitor dielectric is on the third electrode plate. A fourth electrode plate is on the third capacitor dielectric and is over and parallel with the third electrode plate. In another example, a capacitor includes a first electrode, a capacitor dielectric on the first electrode, and a second electrode on the capacitor dielectric. The capacitor dielectric includes a plurality of alternating first dielectric layers and second dielectric layers.
