Abstract

A method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming a capacitor bottom plate and a metal interconnect feature on a substrate. A dielectric layer having a predetermined thickness is then formed. The dielectric layer has a first portion overlying the capacitor bottom plate and a second portion overlying the metal interconnect feature. A thickness of the first portion of the dielectric layer is adjusted by either reducing the thickness or depositing additional dielectric material. A capacitor top plate is formed over the first portion of the dielectric layer.
