A method of fabricating a semiconductor device including depositing a hardmask layer on a layer of the semiconductor device, selectively etching a pattern of continuous lines in the hardmask layer, depositing an antireflective coating over remaining portions of the hardmask layer, depositing a photoresist layer on the antireflective coating, patterning the photoresist layer with a plurality of isolation trenches via a lithography process, each of the isolation trenches extending perpendicular to and crossing portions of at least one of the continuous lines of the underlying hardmask layer, and with each isolation trench having an initial width. The method further includes reducing the width of each of the isolation trenches from the initial width to desired width via a shrinking process, etching the antireflective coating underlying the isolation trenches to expose intersecting portions of the underlying continuous lines, and etching the exposed intersecting portions of the underlying continuous lines of the hardmask layer to form a pattern of line segments having line ends separated by the desired width.

A method for forming a MIM capacitor and a MIM capacitor device formed by same. A preferred embodiment comprises selectively forming a first cap layer over a wafer including a MIM capacitor bottom plate, and depositing an insulating layer over the MIM capacitor bottom plate. The insulating layer is patterned with a MIM capacitor top plate pattern, and a MIM dielectric material is deposited over the patterned insulating layer. A conductive material is deposited over the MIM dielectric material, and the wafer is planarized to remove the conductive material and MIM dielectric material from the top surface of the insulating layer and form a MIM capacitor top plate. A second cap layer is selectively formed over the MIM capacitor top plate.

A method for fabricating an interconnect arrangement with increased capacitive coupling is described. A trench structure is formed in a first dielectric having a capacitor region with a first aspect ratio and an interconnect region with a second aspect ratio connected thereto. The trench structure of the interconnect region is completely filled by a first interconnect. The trench structure of the capacitor region is only partially filled by a first capacitor electrode and is completely filled by a capacitor dielectric and a second capacitor electrode. In a second dielectric formed thereon, a second interconnect with a contact via is formed, which is connected to the second capacitor electrode.
