Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of first capacitor electrodes arranged in a plurality of parallel lines on the semiconductor substrate, wherein each of the first capacitor electrodes extends away from the semiconductor substrate; a plurality of capacitor support pads wherein each capacitor support pad is connected to first capacitor electrodes of at least two adjacent parallel lines of the first capacitor electrodes, wherein adjacent capacitor support pads are spaced apart, wherein each of the first capacitor electrodes includes a distal end spaced apart from the semiconductor substrate such that the distal end is adjacent a respective one of the capacitor support pads, and wherein the distal end includes a distal end portion spaced apart from the respective capacitor support pad that is recessed relative to a distal end portion adjacent to respective capacitor support pad; a dielectric layer on each of the first capacitor electrodes; and a second capacitor electrode on the dielectric layer so that the dielectric layer is between the second capacitor electrode and each of the first capacitor electrodes.
