Abstract
Methods of forming a super high density metal-insulator-metal (SHDMIM) capacitor and semiconductor device are disclosed herein. A method includes depositing a first insulating layer over a semiconductor substrate and a series of conductive layers separated by a series of dielectric layers over the first insulating layer, the series of conductive layers including device electrodes and dummy metal plates. A first set of contact plugs through the series of conductive layers contacts one or more conductive layers of a first portion of the series of conductive layers. A second set of contact plugs through the series of dielectric layers avoids contact of a second portion of the series of conductive layers, the second portion of the series of conductive layers electrically floating.
