Abstract

The present invention provides a semiconductor device, including an interconnect and a capacitor, and a method of fabrication therefor. The method includes forming a damascene interconnect structure through an interlevel dielectric layer and a dielectric etch stop layer located under the interlevel dielectric, wherein the damascene interconnect structure contacts a first interconnect structure. The method further includes forming a metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitor damascene structure through the interlevel dielectric layer and terminating on the dielectric etch stop layer. The damascene structures, may in an alternative embodiment, be dual damascene structures. Furthermore, the damascene interconnect structure and the MOM capacitor may, in another embodiment, make up part of a larger integrated circuit.
