Claim 0:
1. A method of forming a capacitor, comprising:
forming a conductive lining in a capacitor opening in insulative-comprising material to comprise a first capacitor electrode of a capacitor being formed in the capacitor opening and forming sacrificial material laterally-inward of the conductive lining;
vertically recessing the conductive lining and the sacrificial material in the capacitor opening relative to a top surface of the insulative-comprising material immediately-laterally-adjacent the capacitor opening;
forming a leaker-material lining in the capacitor opening atop the conductive lining;
after forming the leaker-material lining, removing remaining of the sacrificial material from being laterally-inward of the conductive lining in the capacitor opening;
after removing the sacrificial material, forming capacitor insulator material in the capacitor opening aside the conductive lining and the leaker-material lining;
forming conductive material in the capacitor opening to comprise a second capacitor electrode of the capacitor; and
the capacitor comprising an intrinsic current leakage path from one of the first and second capacitor electrodes to the other through the capacitor insulator material, the leaker-material lining forming a parallel current leakage path that is circuit-parallel with the intrinsic current leakage path and of lower total resistance than the intrinsic current leakage path.
