MULTI-LATERAL RECESSED MIM STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18342861 Titled 'MULTI-LATERAL RECESSED MIM STRUCTURE'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an integrated chip that has a layered structure called a dielectric stack. The dielectric stack has multiple layers arranged in a specific pattern. The chip also has recessed areas on the side of the dielectric stack at different heights. These recessed areas are lined with a structure called a capacitor, which consists of conductive electrodes separated by a special material called a capacitor dielectric.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to an integrated chip. The integrated chip includes a dielectric stack disposed over a substrate. The dielectric stack has a first plurality of layers interleaved between a second plurality of layers. The dielectric stack has one or more surfaces that define a plurality of indentations recessed into a side of the dielectric stack at different vertical heights corresponding to the second plurality of layers. A capacitor structure lines the one or more surfaces of the dielectric stack. The capacitor structure includes conductive electrodes separated by a capacitor dielectric.
