Abstract:
1. A capacitor in an integrated circuit (“IC”) comprising: a first layer of conductive strips extending along a first direction including a first plurality of conductive strips forming a first portion of a first node of the capacitor alternating with a second plurality of conductive strips forming a first portion of a second node of the capacitor; a plate layer adjacent to the first layer, the plate layer including a third plurality of conductive strips forming a second portion of the first node, each strip in the third plurality of conductive strips being next to another strip in the third plurality of conductive strips in the plate layer and extending along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; and a first via electrically connecting a first conductive strip in the first plurality of conductive strips in the first layer to a second conductive strip in the plate layer.
