Abstract
An electronic structure having a first conductive layer provided by a dual damascene fabrication process; an etch-stop layer provided by the fabrication process, and electrically coupled with the first conductive layer, the etch-stop layer having a preselected dielectric constant and a predetermined geometry; and a second conductive layer, electrically coupled with the etch-stop layer. The structure can be, for example, a metal-insulator-metal capacitor, an antifuse, and the like.
