Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: forming a capacitor dielectric material on a first contact region formed in an active region of a semiconductor device; forming a dielectric material between a first gate electrode structure and a second gate electrode structure so as to provide a void in said dielectric material, said first and second gate electrode structures formed at least on said active region; forming a first contact opening in said dielectric material so as to connect to said void, said first contact opening being positioned laterally outside said active region; forming a second contact opening in said dielectric material so as to connect to a second contact region formed in said active region; and forming a first contact element in said first contact opening, a second contact element in said second contact opening and a capacitor electrode in said void by depositing a conductive material in said first and second contact openings.
