Patent number: 12261196Abstract: In some embodiments, the present application provides an integrated chip (IC). The IC includes a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) device disposed over a substrate. The MIM device includes a plurality of conductive plates that are spaced from one another. The MIM device further includes a first conductive plug structure that is electrically coupled to a first conductive plate and to a third conductive plate of the plurality of conductive plates. A first plurality of insulative segments electrically isolate a second conductive plate and a fourth conductive plate from the first conductive plug structure. The MIM device further includes a second conductive plug structure that is electrically coupled to the second conductive plate and to the fourth conductive plate of the plurality of conductive plates. A second plurality of insulative segments electrically isolate the first conductive plate and the third conductive plate from the second conductive plug structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Lu-Sheng Chou, Hsuan-Han Tseng, Chun-Yuan Chen, Hsiao-Hui Tseng, Ching-Chun Wang

Patent number: 11984353Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming a capacitor structure. The method includes forming a capacitor dielectric layer over a lower electrode layer, and forming an upper electrode layer over the capacitor dielectric layer. The upper electrode layer is etched to define an upper electrode and to expose a part of the capacitor dielectric layer. A spacer structure is formed over horizontally extending surfaces of the upper electrode layer and the capacitor dielectric layer and also along sidewalls of the upper electrode. The spacer structure is etched to remove the spacer structure from over the horizontally extending surfaces of the upper electrode layer and the capacitor dielectric layer and to define a spacer. The capacitor dielectric layer and the lower electrode layer are etched according to the spacer to define a capacitor dielectric and a lower electrode.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Hsuan-Han Tseng, Chun-Yuan Chen, Lu-Sheng Chou, Hsiao-Hui Tseng, Jhy-Jyi Sze
