Claim Text:
1. A capacitor, within a dielectric layer of, and for use with, an integrated circuit (IC), the capacitor comprising: a first plate deposited from a conductive liner onto at least one side and a bottom of a recess formed in a top surface of a dielectric layer of the IC, the first plate being copper, the bottom of the recess adjacent to a first conductive structure; a conformal dielectric film attached to the at least one side and a bottom of the first plate and covering the entire upper surface of the dielectric layer, the conformal dielectric being HfO a second plate, electrically conductive and formed within a portion of the recess, over the at least one side and a bottom and planarized with the uppermost surface of the conformal dielectric film, the second plate electrically insulated from the first plate by the conformal dielectric film.
