Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 6:
7. An integrated circuit device, comprising:
a first conductor configured to receive a first voltage level;
a second conductor configured to receive a second voltage level different than the first voltage level; and
a decoupling capacitor connected between the first conductor and the second conductor, wherein the decoupling capacitor has a structure comprising:
a first conductive region comprising a first raised portion and a second raised portion spaced apart from the first raised portion, wherein the first conductive region has a first conductivity type;
a second conductive region comprising a raised portion adjacent the second raised portion of the first conductive region, wherein the second conductive region has a second conductivity type different than the first conductivity type;
a dielectric overlying the first raised portion of the first conductive region;
a third conductor overlying the dielectric and connected to the first conductor; and
a conductive element overlying the second raised portion of the first conductive region and overlying the raised portion of the second conductive region.
