Detailed description of the invention
Below by way of specific instantiation accompanying drawings embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can be understood further advantage and effect of the present invention easily by content disclosed in the present specification. The present invention also can pass through other different instantiation and be implemented or apply, and the every details in this specification also based on different viewpoints and application, can carry out various modification and change under the spirit without departing substantially from the present invention.
Fig. 2 is the top view of a kind of MIM capacitor preferred embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 3 is the present invention generalized section along the AA ' direction of Fig. 2, Fig. 4 is the present invention generalized section along the BB ' direction of Fig. 2, Fig. 5 is the present invention generalized section along the CC ' direction of Fig. 2, and the MIM capacitor structure below in conjunction with-5 couples of present invention of Fig. 2 describes in detail.
