Abstract

A capacitor formed in a substrate including a recess dug into a substrate; a first layer of a dielectric material covering the walls, the bottom and the edges of the recess; a second layer of a conductive material covering the first layer; a third layer of a conductive or insulating material filling the recess; trenches crossing the third layer; a fourth layer of a conductive material covering the walls, the bottoms as well as the intervals between these trenches and the edges thereof; a fifth layer of a dielectric material covering the fourth layer; and a sixth layer of a conductive material covering the fifth layer.
