Abstract

A semiconductor die includes semiconductor devices located on a semiconductor substrate, metal-insulator-metal corner structures overlying the semiconductor devices and located in corner regions of the semiconductor die. Metal-insulator-metal corner structures are located in the corner regions of the semiconductor die. Each of the metal-insulator-metal corner structures has a horizontal cross-sectional shape selected from a triangular shape and a polygonal shape including a pair of laterally-extending strips extending along two horizontal directions that are perpendicular to each other and connected to each other by a connecting shape.
