Abstract
A method for fabricating an interconnect arrangement with increased capacitive coupling is described. A trench structure is formed in a first dielectric having a capacitor region with a first aspect ratio and an interconnect region with a second aspect ratio connected thereto. The trench structure of the interconnect region is completely filled by a first interconnect. The trench structure of the capacitor region is only partially filled by a first capacitor electrode and is completely filled by a capacitor dielectric and a second capacitor electrode. In a second dielectric formed thereon, a second interconnect with a contact via is formed, which is connected to the second capacitor electrode.
