The invention relates to a stacked capacitor (10) comprising a silicon
base plate (16), a poly-silicon center plate (32) arranged above the base
plate (16), a lower gate-oxide dielectric (26) arranged between the base
plate (16) and the center plate (32), a cover plate (36) made of a
metallic conductor and arranged above the center plate (32), and an upper
dielectric (34) arranged between the center plate (32) and the cover
plate (36). The cover plate (36) and the base plate (16) are electrically
connected to each other and together form a first capacitor electrode.
The center plate (32) forms a second capacitor electrode. The invention
further relates to an integrated circuit with such a stacked capacitor,
as well as to a method for fabrication of a stacked capacitor as part of
a CMOS process.
