Patent ID: 7956438

Claim:
A capacitor in an integrated circuit (“IC”) comprising: a first node conductor formed in a first metal layer of the IC having a first spine extending along a first direction, a first vertical element extending from the first spine along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a first capital element having a first end and a second end extending perpendicularly across an end of the first vertical element along the first direction, a first serif element extending from the first end of the first capital element toward the first spine, and a second serif element extending from the second end of the first capital element toward the first spine, the first vertical element, first capital element, first serif element and second serif element forming a first conductive fin, and a second conductive fin constructed as the first conductive fin extending perpendicularly from the first spine opposite the first conductive fin; and a second node conductor formed in the first metal layer of the IC having a second spine extending along the first direction, a third conductive fin constructed as the first conductive fin having a third vertical element extending from the second spine along the second direction toward the first spine, and a third serif element extending from a third capital element of the third conductive fin toward the second spine, the third serif element being disposed between the first vertical element and the first serif element.
