Patent ID: 8748257

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a capacitor, the method comprising: forming at least one first conductive material layer over a workpiece, the at least one first conductive material layer including a first insulating material and at least one via disposed within the first insulating material; and forming at least one second conductive material layer adjacent the at least one first conductive material layer, the at least one second conductive material layer including a second insulating material and at least one conductive member disposed within the second insulating material, the at least one conductive member being coupled to the at least one via, wherein forming the at least one second conductive material layer comprises forming at least one conductive member comprising an enlarged region proximate the at least one via, and wherein forming the at least one first conductive material layer and forming the at least one second conductive material layer comprise forming an at least one conductive member and at least one via that comprise at least one capacitor plate.
