Abstract:
A manufacturing method of a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor structure includes the following steps. A bottom plate is formed. A first conductive layer is patterned to be the bottom plate, and the first conductive layer includes a metal element. An interface layer is formed on the first conductive layer by performing a nitrous oxide (N 2 O) treatment on a top surface of the first conductive layer. The interface layer includes oxygen and the metal element of the first conductive layer. A dielectric layer is formed on the interface layer. A top plate is formed on the dielectric layer. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor structure includes the bottom plate, the interface layer disposed on the bottom plate, the dielectric layer disposed on the interface layer, and the top plate disposed on the dielectric layer.

Claim (Index 13):
The MIM capacitor structure according to  claim 11 , wherein the bottom plate comprises titanium nitride (TiN) or tantalum nitride (TaN).
