The present invention relates to a method of fabrication process which integrates the processing steps for fabricating the trench MIM capacitor with the conventional middle-of-line processing steps for fabricating metal contacts, so that the inner metallic electrode layer of the trench MIM capacitor and the metal contact of the FET or other logic circuitry components are formed by a single middle-of-line processing step and comprise essentially the same metallic material. The semiconductor device contains at least one trench metal-oxide-metal (MIM) capacitor and at least one other logic circuitry component, preferably at least one field effect transistor (FET). The trench MIM capacitor is located in a trench in a substrate and comprises inner and outer metallic electrode layers with a dielectric layer therebetween. The FET comprises a source region, a drain region, a channel region, and at least one metal contact connected with the source or drain region.
