MOM or MIM capacitor to use in SAR ADC

Ricardo Alves
Ricardo Alves over 12 years ago

Can anybody tell me which capacitor (MOM or MIM) is better to use in a SAR ADC? And what are their main differences in terms of parasitic and mismatch? 

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Ricardo Alves

    @VKhlyupin : MOM capacitor requires less area as compared to MIM. Other advantages of MOM capacitor are high density, use of standard process and scalability, good matching characteristics, low parasitics.
