  • Abstract
    The authors have obtained good MIM capacitor integrity of high-capacitance density of 10 fF/μm2 using high-/spl kappa/ AlTaO/sub x/ fabricated at 400/spl deg/C. In addition, small voltage dependence of capacitance of <600 ppm (quadratic voltage coefficient of only 130 ppm/V2) is obtained at 1 GHz using their mathematical derivation from measured high-frequency S parameters. These good results ensure the high-/spl kappa/ AlTaO/sub x/ MIM capacitor technology is useful for high-precision circuits operated at the RF frequency regime.
