Patent ID: 8124491

Claim:
A method of forming a capacitor, comprising: forming a container-shaped bottom conductive layer having exterior and interior surfaces, the bottom conductive layer formed in a recess in a supporting dielectric and having a dielectric fill within the container; removing a top of the bottom conductive layer to a level below the supporting dielectric and the dielectric fill; removing the dielectric fill and the supporting dielectric distal from a contact site; depositing a capacitor dielectric and a top conductive layer over the bottom conductive layer and supporting dielectric over the contact site; and removing the top conductive layer over the contact site and the supporting dielectric external to the container proximate the contact site; wherein removing the dielectric fill and the supporting dielectric distal from the contact site further comprises: depositing and patterning a photoresist layer over a portion of the container and supporting dielectric and over the contact site; and removing the dielectric not covered by the photoresist layer.
