 Image Number 7 for United States Patent #5366920.
A thin film capacitor which comprises a lower electrode, a dielectric film and an upper electrode is fabricated on a substrate. The lower electrode is not provided by etching process using a photoresist mask, but it is provided by providing an aperture thorough an insulating layer deposited on the substrate, and depositing a conductive film on the bottom of the aperture and connected to a lower interconnection provided on the bottom of the aperture. Consequently, no convex protrusion is found at the processed edge of the lower electrode.
