  • Publication number: 20050146043
    Abstract: A method and resulting structure of forming a metal on metal capacitor structure for an integrated circuit device, e.g., mixed signal. The method includes forming a dual damascene structure, where the structure has a first conductive portion comprising copper material that is separated by a dielectric material from a second conductive portion. The second conductive portion is coupled to the first conductive portion underlying the dielectric material through a third conductive portion. The first conductive portion, the dielectric material, and the second conductive portion form a substantially planar surface region opposing the third conductive portion. The first conductive portion and the second conductive portion is coupled through the third conductive portion define a first electrode. The method selectively removing the dielectric material between the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion to form an opening defined by the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion.
