ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of implementing an intermetallic capacitor in a multiple layer integrated circuit including, on a P-type substrate, at least five levels of metallization. The method includes letting remain, on either side of portions of end metallization levels of the capacitor, at least one portion of a biasable level distinct from the substrate and from the last metallization level, and biasing, at least above the capacitor and to the potential of the substrate, the two biasable portions.
