Abstract

An integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate, a conductive layer above a front face of the substrate, a first metal track in a first metal level, and a pre-metal dielectric region located between the conductive layer and the first metal level. A metal-insulator-metal-type capacitive structure is located in a trench within the pre-metal dielectric region. The capacitive structure includes a first metal layer electrically connected with the conductive layer, a second metal layer electrically connected with the first metal track, and a dielectric layer between the first metal layer and the second metal layer.
