Patent ID: 8884351

Claim:
A device, comprising: an initial patterned layer comprising a target conductor and a first capacitor plug formed therein; a first bottom capacitor plate formed on and in electrical contact with the first capacitor plug, the first bottom capacitor plate having a first height; a first capacitor dielectric formed on a top surface, an outward-facing surface, and an inward-facing surface of the first bottom capacitor plate; a top capacitor plate formed on the first capacitor dielectric, wherein a top surface of the top capacitor plate reaches a second height greater than the first height; a top capacitor contact formed on and in electrical contact with the top capacitor plate; a lower vertical contact formed on and in electrical contact with the target conductor, the lower vertical contact having the first height and a first width, wherein a top surface of the lower vertical contact is lower than the top surface of the top capacitor plate; and an upper vertical contact formed on and in electrical contact with the lower vertical contact, the upper vertical contact having a second width that is greater than the first width.
