Claim 7:
8. A method, comprising:
forming a bottom plate of a segmented capacitor using a first metal layer over a semiconductor substrate including circuitry with nodes, wherein:
the bottom plate includes a plurality of spaced apart segments;
a first segment of the plurality of spaced apart segments is electrically connected to a first node of the nodes; and
a second segment of the plurality of spaced apart segments is electrically connected to a second node of the nodes;

forming a dielectric layer of the segmented capacitor over the bottom plate; and
forming a top plate of the segmented capacitor over the dielectric layer using a second metal layer, wherein:
the top plate is electrically connected to a third node of the nodes; and
the top plate covers at least a portion of the plurality of spaced apart segments.
