Abstract:
An electrode structure for use on an integrated circuit, comprising:(A) a dielectric layer;(B) a polysilicon layer positioned adjacent to said dielectric layer, said polysilicon layer being formed of a plurality of non-contiguous polysilicon clusters; and(C) a conductive layer positioned adjacent to said polysilicon layer for electrically connecting said plurality of non-contiguous clusters to each other;wherein said conductive layer is formed of a doped polysilicon and has a thickness (T) that is between 10-200 angstroms, and each of said non-contiguous clusters has a base end and a top end, said base ends of said non-contiguous clusters being separated by a first spacing (S.sub.1), wherein S.sub.1 is greater than (T.times.2).
