Silicon-based capacitors are typically single MIM (metal-insulator-metal) or multiple MIM structure electrostatic capacitors built by semiconductor technologies.
Silicon dielectrics are either silicon dioxide (MIS) or silicon nitride (MOS) insulating layers; however, semiconductor manufacturing techniques such as atomic layer deposition (ALD) can be used to form other dielectric materials on top of the silicon substrate. High-density silicon-based capacitors use 3D nano-structured electrodes to achieve higher surface area and, thus, higher capacitance value.
