Method of fabricating a mim capacitor with minimal voltage coefficient and a decoupling mim capacitor and analog/rf mim capacitor on the same chip with high-k dielectrics

Abstract

Methods for fabricating MIM capacitors with low VCC or decoupling and analog/RF capacitors on a single chip and the resulting devices are provided. Embodiments include forming: first and second metal lines in a substrate; a first electrode over, but insulated from, the first metal line; a first high-k dielectric layer on the first electrode, the first high-k dielectric layer having a coefficient α; a second electrode on the first high-k dielectric layer and over a portion of the first electrode; a second high-k dielectric layer on the second electrode, the second high-k dielectric layer having a coefficient α' opposite in polarity but substantially equal in magnitude to α; a third electrode on the second high-k dielectric layer over the entire first electrode; and a metal-filled via through a dielectric layer down to the first metal line, and a metal-filled via through the dielectric layer down to the second metal line.
