  • Method of manufacturing a metal-insulator-metal capacitor
    Publication number: 20060128109
    Abstract: The present invention provides method of manufacturing a metal-insulator-metal capacitor (100). A method of manufacturing includes depositing a first refractory metal layer (105) over a semiconductor substrate (110). The first refractory metal layer (105) over a capacitor region (200) of the semiconductor substrate (110) is removed and a second refractory metal (300) is deposited over the capacitor region (200). Other aspects of the present invention include a metal-insulator-metal capacitor (900) and a method of manufacturing an integrated circuit (1000).
