Claim 0:
1. A capacitive unit, comprising:
two or more vertically-stacked capacitive tiers; each of the capacitive tiers comprising first electrode material arranged in a configuration having laterally-extending first segments and longitudinally-extending second segments; the first and second segments joining at intersection-regions; the first electrode material of the first and second segments being configured as tubes; the capacitive tiers being together configured as a stack, with the stack having a first side and having a first vertical edge along said first side; the first electrode material capping the tubes along the first side and being along the first vertical edge;
capacitor dielectric material lining the tubes;
second electrode material extending into the lined tubes;
columns of the second electrode material extending vertically through the capacitive tiers and being joined with the second electrode material within the lined tubes; and
a conductive plate extending vertically along the first vertical edge of the stack and being directly against the first electrode material.
