HIGH-DENSITY METAL-INSULATOR-METAL CAPACITOR INTEGRATION WTH NANOSHEET STACK TECHNOLOGY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17457667 titled 'HIGH-DENSITY METAL-INSULATOR-METAL CAPACITOR INTEGRATION WTH NANOSHEET STACK TECHNOLOGY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a new approach for creating a metal-insulator-metal capacitor with a comb-like structure. The capacitor includes a first electrode material with a central, vertical portion and two sets of stacked horizontal portions. An insulator material surrounds the first electrode and exposes the top surface of the central portion. A second electrode material surrounds the insulator. The capacitor also includes first and second electrode contacts.

  • The patent describes a new design for a metal-insulator-metal capacitor.
  • The capacitor has a comb-like structure with a central, vertical portion and stacked horizontal portions.
  • An insulator material surrounds the first electrode and exposes the top surface of the central portion.

Original Abstract Submitted

An approach provides a metal-insulator-metal capacitor with a comb-like structure. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor includes a first electrode material forming a central, vertical portion of the first electrode metal and two sets of stacked horizontal portions of the first electrode metal. An insulator material surrounds the first electrode metal and exposes a top surface of the central, vertical portion of the first electrode metal. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor includes a second electrode material surrounding the insulator material. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor includes a first electrode contact connecting to the top surface of the central, vertical portion of the first electrode metal and a second electrode contact connecting to a top surface of the second electrode material.
