Abstract:
A capacitor structure, comprising:in a first direction, a first layer comprising, a plurality of first layer vertical plates, wherein the first layer vertical plates are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein each first layer vertical plate comprises multiple first layer conducting strips; the first layer conducting strips are substantially parallel to each other and are connected to each other by one or more first layer vias; the first layer vertical plates are alternately connected to each other, creating a first portion of the first layer vertical plates and a second portion of the first layer vertical plates, such that the first portion of the first layer vertical plates forms a section of the first terminal of the capacitor structure and the second portion of the first layer vertical plates forms a section of the second terminal of the capacitor structure; in a second direction, wherein the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, a second layer comprising, a plurality of second layer vertical plates, wherein the second layer vertical plates are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein each second layer vertical plate comprises multiple second layer conducting strips; the second layer conducting strips are substantially parallel to each other and are connected to each other by one or more second layer vias; the second layer vertical plates are alternately connected to each other, creating a first portion of the second layer vertical plates and a second portion of the second layer vertical plates, such that the first portion of the second layer vertical plates forms a remaining section of the first terminal of the capacitor structure, and the second portion of the second layer vertical plates forms a remaining section of the second terminal of the capacitor structure; and whereby, the second layer is overlying the first layer in a top view.
