A method and resulting structure of forming a metal on metal capacitor structure
for an integrated circuit device, e.g., mixed signal. The method includes forming
a dual damascene structure, where the structure has a first conductive portion
comprising copper material that is separated by a dielectric material from a second
conductive portion. The second conductive portion is coupled to the first conductive
portion underlying the dielectric material through a third conductive portion.
The first conductive portion, the dielectric material, and the second conductive
portion form a substantially planar surface region opposing the third conductive
portion. The first conductive portion and the second conductive portion is coupled
through the third conductive portion define a first electrode. The method selectively
removing the dielectric material between the first conductive portion and the second
conductive portion to form an opening defined by the first conductive portion and
the second conductive portion. The method forms an insulting layer within with
opening to define a capacitor dielectric layer therefrom. The method also forms
a copper layer overlying the insulating layer to a height above the substantially
planar surface to form a second electrode. The method also planarizes the copper
layer to define the second electrode.
