Abstract
The fabrication of the MIM capacitors is illustrated in the paper. The effective capacitor areas are designed at 60 times 60, 240 times 240 and 380 times 380 mum2. From the s- parameter measurements, the fabricated capacitors showed capacitive capability up to frequency of 40 GHz. Strong parasitic effect was observed at low frequency while attenuation effect was observed at high frequency.
