Claim Text:
1. An integrated circuit (IC) including a deep trench capacitor device, comprising: a first capacitor electrode comprising a doped region of semiconductor substrate in which two or more trenches are arranged; a second capacitor electrode comprising a continuous body of conductive material, wherein the continuous body of conductive material includes a lower body portion filling the two or more trenches and an upper body portion extending continuously over the lower body portion, wherein the upper body portion extends upwardly out of the trenches by a non-zero distance; a capacitor dielectric liner arranged in the two or more trenches to separate the first and second capacitor electrodes, wherein the capacitor dielectric liner extends continuously out of the two or more trenches along outer sidewalls of the upper body portion; wherein the capacitor dielectric liner comprises a first conformal oxide material lining respective trench sidewalls and covering respective trench lower surfaces of the respective two or more trenches, wherein the first conformal oxide extends out of the two or more trenches and extends over the semiconductor substrate without extending upwardly along the sidewalls of the continuous conductive body; a nitride material arranged in the two or more trenches and over the first conformal oxide material; and a second conformal oxide material arranged in the two or more trenches over the nitride material.
