Abstract

See full text

A method for fabricating, within an integrated circuit (IC), a capacitor that includes a first plate formed within a recess of a metal layer that includes a second plate of the capacitor is disclosed. The method may include forming the second plate of the capacitor by creating, in a top surface of the metal layer, the recess having at least one side and a bottom and depositing a conformal dielectric film onto the at least one side and the bottom of the recess. The method may also include forming the first plate of the capacitor by filling a portion of the recess that is not filled by the conformal dielectric film with an electrically conductive material that is electrically insulated, by the conformal dielectric film, from the second plate.
