Abstract:
1. A method for forming a capacitor on a substrate, comprising: forming a Fin structure having a top surface and a first side surface opposite a second side surface, said Fin structure including a single-crystal semiconductor material; forming an insulator structure adjacent the top surface of the Fin structure; forming a conductor structure adjacent the insulator structure, wherein the conductor structure totally overlays the Fin structure, wherein a thickness of the Fin structure is within a thickness of the conductor structure, said thickness of the Fin structure being a distance between the first and second side surfaces of the Fin structure, said thickness of the conductor structure being oriented in a same direction as said thickness of the Fin structure, said insulator structure comprising a single insulative material distributed from the top surface of the Fin structure to a bottom surface of the conductor structure; and forming an insulator layer such that an entire bottom surface of the Fin structure is in direct mechanical contact with a top surface of the insulator layer.
