Patent number: 9391016Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2014Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shih-Guo Shen, Wei-Min Tseng, Chien-Chung Wang, Huey-Chi Chu, Wen-Chuan Chiang
