A method of fabricating a metal-insulator-metal capacitor in a
semiconductor device is disclosed. An example method for fabricating an
MIM capacitor of a semiconductor device deposits a metal layer to be used
as a lower electrode of an MIM capacitor, deposits a sacrificial layer on
the metal layer, and removes some part of the sacrificial layer to form
the MIM capacitor thereon. In addition, the example method deposits a
dielectric layer and an upper metal layer and forms the MIM capacitor by
patterning the dielectric layer and the upper metal layer.
