ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit including doubled capacitors (metal/dielectric/TiN/dielectric/polysilicon). This structure is preferably made using a patterned interlevel oxide
itride layer to split a polycide layer, i.e. at some locations the polycide layer has low sheet resistance and at other locations the polycide layer is vertically split to provide two layers (TiN and unsilicided polysilicon), which are separated by the interlevel oxide
itride. A double contact etch is used before the first metal interconnect layer is deposited, so that the metal makes ohmic contact to underlying silicide or silicon or TiN in some locations, and in others provides insulated metal top plates over TiN/polysilicon capacitance to provide doubled capacitors.
