Techniques are disclosed for forming an integrated circuit including a capacitor having a multilayer dielectric stack. For example, the capacitor may be a metal-insulator-metal capacitor (MIMcap), where the stack of dielectric layers is used for the insulator or ‘I’ portion of the MIM structure. In some cases, the composite or multilayer stack for the insulator portion of the MIM structure may include a first oxide layer, a dielectric layer, a second oxide layer, and a high-k dielectric layer, as will be apparent in light of this disclosure. Further, the multilayer dielectric stack may include an additional high-k dielectric layer, for example. Use of such multilayer dielectric stacks can enable increases in capacitance density and/or breakdown voltage for a MIMcap device. Further, use of a multilayer dielectric stack can enable tuning of the breakdown and capacitance characteristics as desired. Other embodiments may be described and/or disclosed.

Techniques for low- or zero-misaligned vias are disclosed. In one embodiment, a high-photosensitivity, medium-photosensitivity, and low-photosensitivity layer are applied to a substrate and exposed at the same time with use of a multi-tone mask. After being developed, one layer forms a mold for a first via, one layer forms a mold for a conductive trace and a second via, and one layer forms an overhang over the position for the second via. The molds formed by the photosensitive layers are filled with copper and then etched. The overhang prevents the top of the copper infill below the overhang region from being etched. As such, the region under the overhang forms a pillar or column after etching, which can be used as a via. Other embodiments are disclosed.
