Abstract:
An interdigitated capacitor comprising:a substrate; a first contact formed on said substrate, said first contact having a first finger and a second finger, said first finger being spaced from said second finger; a second contact formed on said substrate and having a first finger, said first finger of said second contact being disposed at least partially between said first finger and said second finger of said first contact; a dielectric material engaging at least a portion of said first contact, said second contact, and said substrate such that said dielectric material and said substrate encapsulate at least a portion said first contact and said second contact; and a layer of conductive material engaging an upper surface of the dielectric material, said layer of conductive material increasing capacitance of the interdigitated capacitor as compared with the capacitance of the interdigitated capacitor prior to the layer being engaged therewith wherein the layer of conductive material does not electrically contact the first and second contacts, and end surfaces of the layer of conductive material directly contact an upper surface of the substrate.
