Metal-insulator-metal capacitor with current leakage protection

A metal insulator metal (MIM) capacitor comprising:

• a first via electrically connected to a bottom electrode;
• a second via electrically connected to a top electrode, wherein in a top view, one of the top and the bottom electrodes comprises a first part that tapers off in a direction from a first edge of the first part to a second edge of the first part opposing the first edge, wherein one of the first and the second edges contacts the respective via;
• and
• an insulator between the top electrode and the bottom electrode.

A metal insulator metal (MIM) capacitor comprising:

• a top electrode electrically connected to a sidewall of a first via;
• a bottom electrode electrically connected to a second via;
• and
• an insulator between the top electrode and the bottom electrode,
• wherein the top electrode comprises a first part which has a shape similar to a shape of the insulator, a second part adjacent to the first part with a shared first edge, and in contact with the sidewall of the first via with a shared second edge, wherein the first edge is longer than the second edge.
