ABSTRACT:
A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor is provided. The bottom electrode of the MIM capacitor is electrically connected to a connection node. The connection node may be, for example, a contact formed in an interlayer dielectric, a polysilicon connection node, a doped polysilicon or silicon region, or the like. A contact provides an electrical connection between the connection node and components formed above the connection node. A second contact provides an electrical connection to the top electrode.
