Description

A novel high capacitance density structure that exceeds 80fF/micron-sq is presented.The design of the system is compatible with modern CMOS technology and will enable a circuit designer to produce high accuracy readout-IC's for IRFPA's.The metal-insulator-metal capacitor utilizes a high-k dielectric system that is within the thermal budget of a CMOS process.Additionally, an enhanced design is suggested that will allow for the capacitance density to exceed 120 fF/micron-sq.This provides a roadmap toward further innovation and extension of the technology beyond IRPFA's.
