Claim Text:
1. A capacitor structure having first and second terminals, comprising: a substrate; a dielectric stack formed over the substrate; a first conductive segment that is formed in a first layer of the dielectric stack, wherein the first conductive segment is connected to the first terminal of the capacitor structure; a second conductive segment that is formed directly above the first conductive segment in a second layer of the dielectric stack, wherein the first and second layers are directly adjacent layers in the dielectric stack, and wherein the second conductive segment is connected to the first terminal of the capacitor structure; a third conductive segment that is formed in the second layer of the dielectric stack, wherein the third conductive segment is coupled to the second terminal of the capacitor structure; and a conductive shielding structure that is formed directly above the third conductive segment in a third layer of the dielectric stack, wherein the conductive shielding structure is coupled to the second conductive segment.
