Abstract
A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor includes a bottom electrode cup, an insulator, and a top electrode. The bottom electrode cup includes a laterally-extending bottom electrode cup base and a bottom electrode cup sidewall extending upwardly from the laterally-extending bottom electrode cup base. The insulator includes an insulator cup formed in an opening defined by the bottom electrode cup, and an insulator flange extending laterally outwardly from the insulator cup sidewall and extending laterally over an upper surface of the bottom electrode cup sidewall. The top electrode is formed in an opening defined by the insulator cup. The top electrode is insulated from the upper surface of the bottom electrode cup sidewall by the insulator flange.
