Abstract:
A pattern is defined in a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer includes a low-k dielectric region and a high-k dielectric region. The high-k dielectric region includes a phase change material which is an alloy of tantalum and nitrogen and is a high-k insulator in a deposited state. The pattern includes a first set of features in the low-k dielectric region and a second set of features in the high-k dielectric region. A surface treatment process is performed on the phase change layer to produce a top surface layer having electrically conductive properties. A metal layer is deposited in the first and second set of features. Thus, a set of conductive lines is formed in the low-k dielectric region and a metal insulator metal capacitor in the high-k dielectric region.

Claim (Index 2):
The device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the phase change material alloy is a doped metallic insulator selected from a nitrogen doped metal, an oxygen doped metal or a nitrogen and oxygen doped metal, and the surface treatment process converts the doped metallic insulator to a respective one of a metallic nitride, a metallic oxide and a metallic nitride-oxide.
