ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating a capacitor using a metal/insulator/metal (MIM) structure is disclosed. An example method for fabricating a capacitor using an MIM structure including a first metal layer, a dielectric layer, and a second metal layer etches the second metal layer and the dielectric layer in order and changes the etching conditions associated with the second metal layer prior to etching the dielectric layer.
