Zusammenfassung: | Embodiments of integrated passive devices (e.g., metal insulator metal, or MIM, capacitors) and methods of their formation include depositing a composite electrode over a semiconductor substrate (e.g., on a dielectric layer above the substrate surface), and depositing an insulator layer over the composite electrode. The composite electrode includes an underlying electrode and an overlying electrode deposited on a top surface of the underlying electrode. The underlying electrode is formed from a first conductive material (e.g., AlCuW), and the overlying electrode is formed from a second, different conductive material (e.g., AlCu). The top surface of the underlying electrode may have a relatively rough surface morphology, and the top surface of the overlying electrode may have a relatively smooth surface morphology. For high frequency, high power applications, both the composite electrode and the insulator layer may be thicker than in some conventional integrated passive devices. |
