Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a capacitor, the method comprising: forming a first electrode over a first portion of a semiconductor body, the first electrode including a first via and a first line that is in electrical contact with the first via; forming a second electrode over a second portion of the semiconductor body, the second electrode including a second via and a second line that is in electrical contact with the second via; forming a high-k dielectric between the first line and the second line and between the first via and the second via such that the first electrode forms a first vertical plate of a capacitor and the second electrode forms a second vertical plate of a capacitor; and forming a first dielectric adjacent an opposing side of the first line from the high-k dielectric, the first dielectric having a lower dielectric constant than the high-k dielectric.
