    Abstract: Embodiments of present disclosure provide a MIM capacitor including a straining layer on an electrode, and a high-k dielectric layer formed on the straining layer. The straining layer allows the high-k dielectric layer to be highly crystallized without requiring an extra annealing process. The high crystallization of the high-k dielectric layer results in increased the dielectric value (k-value), thus, improving capacitance density in the MIM capacitor. Some embodiments provide a MIM capacitor device including stacked MIM capacitors with symmetrically arranged high-k dielectric layers and straining layers.
