Patent ID: 7768054

Claim:
A semiconductor component comprising: an insulating layer disposed on a semiconductor substrate; and a capacitance structure formed in the insulating layer, the structure having two capacitance surface parts, the first capacitance surface part having at least a first metallization plane and a second metallization plane extending approximately parallel to the substrate surface and are each operatively connected to one of two electrodes, and the second capacitance surface part having at least one electrically conductive region between the first metallization plane and the second metallization plane in the insulating layer and is operatively connected to one of the first metallization plane and the second metallization plane where the second capacitance part is in the form of a homogeneous cohesive elevation, wherein the elevation comprises a top wall and side walls, wherein the top wall is oriented perpendicular to the side walls and wherein the side walls and the top wall are in direct contact with by the insulating layer.
