Metal-insulator-metal capacitor and method for fabricating the same

摘要

A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor that includes a silicon nitride (SiN) dielectric film is disclosed. The MIM capacitor includes a bottom electrode, a top electrode and a dielectric layer positioned between the bottom electrode and the top electrode. The dielectric layer includes a silicon nitride film that has a plurality of silicon-hydrogen bonds and a plurality of nitride-hydrogen bonds. A ratio of silicon-hydrogen bonds to nitride-hydrogen bonds is equal to or smaller than 0.5. Accordingly, the nitrogen-rich and compressive silicon nitride film can improve the breakdown voltage of the MIM capacitor.
