Abstract
Integrated circuits and methods for producing the same are provided. A method for producing an integrated circuit includes forming a capacitor trench through a dielectric layer, and forming a base layer overlying the dielectric layer and within the capacitor trench. A base layer via gap is formed in the base layer, where the base layer via gap is positioned overlying the dielectric layer and the first contact. A base plate and a shield are formed from the base layer, where the base plate is within the capacitor trench. A capacitor insulating layer is formed overlying the base plate, the base layer, and within the base layer via gap, and a via is formed through the base layer via gap. A second contact and a top plate are simultaneously formed, where the second contact is formed in the via and the top plate is formed in the capacitor trench.
