A novel high capacitance density structure that exceeds 80fF/micron-sq is presented. The design of the system is compatible with modern CMOS technology and will enable a circuit designer to produce high accuracy readout-IC's for IRFPA's. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor utilizes a high-k dielectric system that is within the thermal budget of a CMOS process. Additionally, an enhanced design is suggested that will allow for the capacitance density to exceed 120 fF/micron-sq. This provides a roadmap toward further innovation and extension of the technology beyond IRPFA's.
