Abstract:
A semiconductor capacitor structure comprising:(a) a device body formed from semiconductor material;(b) a first lateral region formed along a first lateral side of the device body, the first lateral region being formed from semiconductor material and being coupled to ground at a first end of the device body;(c) a second lateral region formed along a second lateral side of the device body opposite the first lateral side, the second lateral region being formed from the same semiconductor material as the first lateral region and being coupled to ground at a first end of the device body;(d) a dielectric layer formed over an upper surface of the device body, over an upper surface of the first lateral region, and over an upper surface of the second lateral region; and(e) an anode layer formed over an upper surface of the dielectric layer in an area defined by the upper surface of the device body, the anode layer connected to a circuit supply voltage at a second end of the device body.
