Abstract:
An integrated circuit comprising one or more transistors and one or more capacitors formed on a substrate, with each capacitor comprising:a first insulator, formed on the substrate;a conductive first capacitor plate, separated from the substrate by the first insulator, with the first capacitor plate not being a gate for any one of the transistors;a second insulator, formed on the first capacitor plate;a conductive second capacitor plate formed on the second insulator, separated from the first capacitor plate by the second insulator, and electrically connected to at least one of the transistors, with the one transistor being a lateral transistor;a third insulator, formed on the second capacitor plate;a conductive third capacitor plate, formed on the third insulator and separated from the second capacitor plate by the third insulator; anda conductive interconnector electrically coupling the first and third capacitor plates.
