Abstract

Provided are vertical capacitors and methods of forming the same. The formation of the vertical capacitor may include forming input and output electrodes on a top surface of a substrate, etching a bottom surface of the substrate to form via electrodes, and then, forming a dielectric layer between the via electrodes. As a result, a vertical capacitor with high capacitance can be provided in a small region of the substrate.
