Integrated resistor capacitator structure

摘要

A resistor capacitor structure and a method of fabrication. A resistor capacitor structure provides a capacitance between at least two nodes within a microelectronic circuit. A bottom plate of the resistor capacitor structure comprises a resistance layer, which in turn provides a resistance path between an additional node within the circuit. The resistor capacitor structure may be formed on top or within interlevel dielectric layers. The resistance layer, alternatively, may be used to fill a cavity located between iiiterlevel dielectric layers and accordingly provide a resistance path between the interlevel dielectric layers.
