Claim:
1. A microelectronic component comprising: a substrate comprising one or more first through-holes; one or more conductive vias, each conductive via comprising a portion inside a corresponding first through-hole, and comprising a conductive protrusion protruding from the corresponding first through-hole for attachment to circuitry outside the microelectronic component; for each conductive protrusion: a first dielectric region wrapping around the conductive protrusion and covering the corresponding first through-hole adjacent to the conductive protrusion; and a first conductive sleeve region wrapping around the conductive protrusion, the first conductive sleeve region being separated from the corresponding first through-hole and the conductive protrusion by the corresponding first dielectric region; wherein the microelectronic component comprises at least one capacitor comprising a first capacitor electrode, a second capacitor electrode, and a capacitor dielectric; wherein for at least one said conductive protrusion: the first capacitor electrode comprises the conductive protrusion; the second capacitor electrode comprises the corresponding first conductive sleeve region; and the capacitor dielectric comprises the corresponding first dielectric region.
