Abstract

A metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitor structure is disclosed. The MOM capacitor includes a plurality of layers, each layer having a plurality of electrodes. The plurality of electrodes, separated by oxide layers, forms a first plate and a second plate of the MOM capacitor. The plurality of electrodes on each of the layers is coupled to a plurality of electrodes on an adjacent layer through a plurality of vias. A shield layer is coupled to each of the electrodes that forms the second plate of the MOM capacitor on each of the plurality of layers.
