Abstract

A thin film capacitor having a dual bottom electrode is provided. The bottom electrode comprises a first layer of metal and a second layer of platinum, said metal of the first layer being of the nature of forming a stable intermetallic phase with the platinum during heat treatment. The metal of the first layer is typically selected from the group consisting of Hf, Zr, and Ta. The thin film capacitor is suitable for the decoupling capacitor of VLSI.
