Dictionary of Electrical Engineering

Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.

metal-insulator-metal (MIM)
capacitor a capacitor, which has a thin insulator layer between two metal electrodes. Generally, this capacitor is fabricated in semiconductor process, and this insulator layer provides high capacitance. Two extreme behaviors of a capacitor are that it will act as an open circuit to low frequencies or DC (zero frequency), and as a short frequency at a sufficiently high frequency (how high is determined by the capacitor value).
