Patent ID: 7810234

Claim:
A method of forming a thin film capacitor, the method comprising: forming a first plurality of connected electrodes on a top surface of a substrate; forming a first dielectric material on the first plurality of electrodes; forming a second plurality of connected electrodes on the first dielectric material; forming a second dielectric material on the second plurality of electrodes; forming a plurality of contact holes in the first and second dielectrics passing through gaps in the second plurality of electrodes; and forming a third plurality of connected electrodes on the second dielectric material, wherein the first plurality of connected electrodes and the third plurality of connected electrodes are formed such that at least one electrode of the first plurality of connected electrodes is connected to a first contact hole of the plurality of contact holes, and at least one electrode of the third plurality of connected electrodes is connected to a second contact hole of the plurality of contact holes, and the first contact hole is different from the second contact hole.
