Claim:
1. A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor structure, comprising: a 5-layered dual-dielectric structure on a substrate, wherein said 5-layered dual-dielectric structure comprises a bottom metal layer, a first dielectric layer, an intermediate metal layer, a second dielectric layer and a top metal layer in order, and said first dielectric layer and said second dielectric layer have different thicknesses; a first plug; a second plug; a cap layer formed conformally on said 5-layered dual-dielectric structure and comprised of nitride; and a patterned dielectric layer formed directly and conformally on the cap layer, wherein said first plug connects said bottom metal layer or said intermediate metal layer, said second plug connects said top metal layer, and both of said first plug and said second plug contact the cap layer.
