Abstract:
A single-layer, metal-insulator-metal capacitor comprising:a first metallic layer with a substantially planar first surface, a substantially planar second surface extending substantially parallel with and substantially coextensive with the first metallic layer first surface, and planar side surfaces joining the first metallic layer first and second surfaces; an insulating layer with a substantially planar first surface, a substantially planar second surface extending substantially parallel with and substantially coextensive with the insulating layer first surface and contacting at least a substantial portion of the first metallic layer first surface, and planar side surfaces joining the insulating layer first and second surfaces; and a second metallic layer with a substantially planar first surface, a substantially planar second surface extending substantially parallel with and substantially coextensive with the second metallic layer first surface and contacting at least a substantial portion of the insulating layer first surface, and planar side surfaces joining the second metallic layer first and second surfaces, the second metallic layer first and second surfaces having rounded corners provided by the second metallic layer side surfaces.
