  • Publication number: 20180033723
    Abstract: A device including a first metal feature is disposed in a first insulating layer. A second metal feature is disposed in a second insulating layer and separated from the first metal feature by a portion of a first etch stop liner disposed between the first and the second insulating layers. The second metal feature is capacitively coupled to the first metal feature through the first etch stop liner.
    Type: Application
