Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for a finger metal-on-metal (FMOM) capacitor including a negative capacitance material are described. In one examples, a FMOM capacitor may include a first electrode and a second electrode. The FMOM capacitor may include a dielectric layer coating a first sidewall of the first electrode and a second sidewall of a second electrode. A portion of the first sidewall may be substantially parallel to a portion of the second sidewall. The FMOM capacitor may also include a negative capacitance material disposed in a channel between the first sidewall of the first electrode and the second sidewall of the second electrode. The negative capacitance material may extend in a direction that is substantially parallel to the portion of the first sidewall and the portion of the second sidewall.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for fabricating a finger metal-on-metal (FMOM) capacitor, comprising:\n depositing a layer of electrode material over a substrate to form a first electrode and a second electrode, and at least one spacer extending in a lateral direction along a sidewall of each electrode, the at least one spacer defining a channel between the first electrode and the second electrode; depositing a conformal layer of dielectric material on an upper surface of each electrode and within the channel, the conformal layer coating a first sidewall of the first electrode and a second sidewall of a second electrode, wherein a portion of the first sidewall is substantially parallel to a portion of the second sidewall; performing a dry anisotropic etch to the layer of dielectric material deposited on the upper surface of each electrode and within the channel; and depositing a layer of negative capacitance material within the channel, wherein the layer of negative capacitance material extends in a direction that is substantially parallel to the portion of the first sidewall and the portion of the second sidewall.
