Abstract

A method is for fabricating an integrated circuit formed from a substrate and including several metallic interconnection levels in which, in a same plane parallel to the main plane of the substrate, is a plurality of thick horizontal metallic interconnection lines, as well as one or several MIM capacitors fitted with metallic electrodes that are orthogonal to the main plane of the substrate.
