Capacitor having low resistance electrode including a thin silicon layer

摘要

A capacitor is provided having a first electrode including a layer of low-resistance non-silicon material. The capacitor includes a layer of silicon formed on the low-resistance material layer and a capacitor dielectric formed on the layer of silicon. A second electrode is formed on the capacitor dielectric, the second electrode including at least a material selected from the group consisting of metals, low-resistance compounds of metals, and deposited semiconductors having a dopant concentration of at least 1x10<17>cm<-3>.
