Abstract

A high value capacitance per unit area capacitor is fabricated on a substrate 1 by converting a portion of a primary function anti-reflecting conducting layer 36 to a high value dielectric layer 37 by partially oxidizing the conducting layer to form the dielectric layer. The resultant combination is sandwiched between two metal layer electrodes 35 and 55 to complete the capacitor structure.
