Abstract
An exemplary MIM capacitor may include a first metal plate, a dielectric layer on the first metal plate, a second metal plate on the dielectric layer, a via layer on the second metal plate, and a third metal plate on the via layer where the second metal plate has a tapered outline with a first side and a second side longer than the first side such that the second side provides a lower resistance path for a current flow.
