Metal-insulator-metal capacitor structures are formed in semiconductor substrates using an anodization procedure on deposited underlying metalization followed by deposition of the second metal and planarization by chemical-mechanical polishing or other procedures. The process is additive in character, as opposed to traditional subtractive etch processes for forming capacitor structures. In addition, the process can be used in damascene applications, and can be used to form a wide variety of capacitive structures while reducing the number of mask layers required for formation.
