Patent ID: 7041570

Claim:
A method, comprising: forming a first substrate layer; forming a recess in the substrate layer, wherein the recess extends to a first surface of an interconnect embedded within the substrate layer; forming a non-smooth mold in the recess and on the first surface of the interconnect; removing a portion of the non-smooth mold from the first surface of the interconnect; forming a first electrode on at least the non-smooth mold and the first surface of the interconnect, wherein the first electrode is formed to include at least one non-smooth surface and is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of transition metals, conductive metal-oxides, alloys thereof, and combinations thereof; forming a dielectric on the first electrode and the first substrate layer; heating the dielectric in the presence of an oxygen-containing ambient; forming a second electrode on the dielectric and an uppermost surface of the first substrate layer, wherein the second electrode is formed to include at least one non-smooth surface; and forming a second substrate layer on the second electrode.
