Abstract

Embodiments described herein provide a structure for finger capacitors, and more specifically metal-oxide-metal (“MOM”) finger capacitors and arrays of finger capacitors. A plurality of Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) formations is associated with every other column of capacitor fingers, with poly fill formations covering the STI formations to provide a more robust and efficient structure.
