Patent ID: 8701283

Claim:
A method for producing an integrated device including a capacitor, the method including the steps of: providing a functional substrate comprising an operative layer including functional circuits of the integrated device, the functional substrate further comprising a pre-metal insulating layer, forming a first conductive layer, including a bottom plate of the capacitor, directly on the pre-metal insulating layer of the functional substrate, forming a layer of insulating material including a dielectric layer of the capacitor on the bottom plate, forming a second conductive layer on the dielectric layer and on the functional substrate, the second conductive layer including a top plate of the capacitor and functional connections to the functional circuits, wherein the second conductive layer, which includes the top plate of the capacitor, constitutes a metal interconnect layer of the integrated device, forming a protective layer of insulating material covering the top plate and the functional connections, forming a first contact for contacting the bottom plate of the capacitor, and forming a second contact and functional contacts for contacting the top plate of the capacitor and the functional connections, respectively, through the protective layer.
