Abstract

A capacitor and method for forming a capacitor is disclosed and which includes providing a node to which electrical connection is to be made; forming a first layer of conductive material to a first thickness over and in electrical connection with the node; forming a second layer of insulative material to a second thickness over the first layer, the second thickness being greater than the first thickness; forming a third layer of conductive material to a third thickness over the second layer; forming the first, second and third layers into a first capacitor plate; and forming a capacitor dielectric layer and second capacitor plate operatively adjacent the first capacitor plate.
