Patent ID: 7456459

Claim:
A capacitor comprising the following: a top capacitor electrode, a dielectric layer, and a bottom capacitor electrode, said dielectric layer having a first side, an opposite second side, and at least one edge between said first and second sides of said dielectric layer, said top capacitor electrode covering a portion of the first side of the dielectric layer, said bottom capacitor electrode having a first section covering a portion of the first side of the dielectric layer, and having a second section covering a portion of the opposite second side of the dielectric layer, wherein said first and second sections of said bottom capacitor electrode interconnect along an edge of the dielectric layer, wherein the top capacitor electrode is smaller than the bottom capacitor electrode, the top capacitor electrode does not contact the bottom capacitor electrode, and the top capacitor electrode is coplanar with the first section of the bottom capacitor electrode, and the first section of the bottom capacitor electrode surrounds the top capacitor electrode and is separated from the top capacitor electrode by a trench, further comprising, on all sides of the capacitor, in an array, a multiplicity of vias connecting to the top capacitor electrode on all sides of the top capacitor electrode and a multiplicity of vias connecting to the first section of the bottom capacitor electrode on all sides of the bottom capacitor electrode, and wherein the top capacitor electrode and the vias connecting to the top capacitor electrode act as an inner conductor, and the bottom capacitor electrode and the vias connecting to the bottom capacitor electrode act as an outer conductor.
