Patent ID: 7825451

Claim:
An array of capacitors, comprising: a substrate comprising an array of substantially vertically oriented inner capacitor electrodes having respective elevationally outermost and elevationally innermost surfaces, the inner capacitor electrodes having outer sidewalls and inner sidewalls; an electrically insulative lattice support received about outer sidewalls of the inner capacitor electrodes adjacent their elevationally outermost surfaces, the lattice support having elevationally outermost and elevationally innermost surfaces; an electrically insulative ring received laterally about each of the inner capacitor electrode outer sidewalls at some common substrate elevation intermediate said elevationally outermost and elevationally innermost surfaces of the inner capacitor electrodes, the insulative rings being everywhere spaced from the lattice support, some insulative rings of some immediately adjacent inner capacitor electrodes touching one another, other insulative rings of other immediately adjacent inner capacitor electrodes being everywhere spaced from one another; a capacitor dielectric received over each of the insulative rings, over the lattice support, and over the inner capacitor electrodes; and an outer capacitor electrode received over each of the insulative rings, over the lattice support, and over the capacitor dielectric.
