High-density MIM canpacitors using AlTaOx dielectrics

Abstract

The authors have obtained good MIM capacitor integrity of high-capacitance density of 10 fF/mum(2) using high-k AlTaOx fabricated at 400degreesC. In addition, small voltage dependence of capacitance of < 600, ppm (quadratic voltage coefficient of only 130 ppm/V-2). is obtained at 1 GHz using their mathematical derivation from measured high-frequency S parameters. These good results ensure the high-k AlTaOx. MIM capacitor technology is useful for high-precision circuits operated at the RF frequency regime.
