The first nitride layer 4 outside the first window has a profile slope angle of 30 to 50 ° and serves as one of Guard Ring (Guard Ring) constituent structures. In the conventional MIM capacitor, the tip discharge is present, and the first nitride layer 4 is provided to prevent the tip discharge, so that the MIM capacitor is stable.

A photoresist is coated on the protection layer 8, then the photoresist is patterned, and the protection layer 8 is etched to the top plate metal 7 by using the photoresist as a mask, so as to form a third window 9 and a fourth window 10, which are shown in fig. 4.
