  • Patent number: 9391016
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip having a MIM (metal-insulator-metal) capacitor and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the integrated chip has a MIM capacitor disposed within a capacitor inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer. An under-metal layer is disposed below the capacitor ILD layer and includes one or more metal structures located under the MIM capacitor. A plurality of vias vertically extend through the capacitor ILD layer and the MIM capacitor. The plurality of vias provide for an electrical connection to the MIM capacitor and to the under-metal layer. By using the plurality of vias to provide for vertical connections to the MIM capacitor and to the under-metal layer, the integrated chip does not use vias that are specifically designated for the MIM capacitor, thereby decreasing the complexity of the integrated chip fabrication.

  • Patent number: 9368392
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a MIM (metal-insulator-metal) capacitor, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the MIM capacitor includes a first electrode having a capacitor bottom metal layer disposed over a dielectric buffer layer located over an under-metal layer. A capacitor dielectric layer is disposed onto and in direct contact with the capacitor bottom metal layer. A second electrode having a top capacitor metal layer is disposed onto and in direct contact with the capacitor dielectric layer. A capacitor inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer is disposed over the top capacitor metal layer, and a substantially planar etch stop layer disposed over the capacitor ILD layer. The capacitor's simple stack provides for a small step size that prevents topography related issues, while the dielectric buffer layer removes design restrictions on the lower metal layer.
