  • Abstract
    A reliable metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor exceeding 250nF has been integrated into the copper/low-K backend of a high-performance 90nm SOI technology. The reduction of supply grid voltage transients has enhanced microprocessor performance by approximately 10% without increasing the chip area or power consumption
