Abstract

Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors were fabricated in a coplanar waveguide type using the Al2O3 thin film. The Al2O3 film was grown by atomic layer deposition(ALD) using Methyl-Pyrolidine-Tri-Methyl-Aluminum (MPTMA) and H2O on Ti. The capacitance per unit area of the fabricated MIM capacitor was 0.229 μF/cm2. And it had lower voltage coefficient of capacitance (VCC) and lower leakage current than that of Al2O3 MIM capacitor prepared by Al oxidation and Si3N4 MIM capacitor prepared by PECVD respectively. The fabricated Al2O3 MIM capacitors prepared by ALD exhibited low VCC, low leakage current, small frequency-dependent capacitance reduction, low temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) and good reliability. The characteristics of the device were suitable for RF ICs and DRAM.
