METHODS OF FORMING CAPACITOR STRUCTURES

Abstract:

Methods of forming a capacitor structure might include forming a first and second conductive regions having first and second conductivity types, respectively, in a semiconductor material, forming a dielectric overlying the first and second conductive regions, forming a conductor overlying the dielectric, and patterning the conductor, the dielectric, and the first and second conductive regions to form a first island of the first conductive region, a second island of the first conductive region, an island of the second conductive region, a first portion of the dielectric overlying the first island of the first conductive region separated from a second portion of the dielectric overlying the second island of the first conductive region and the island of the second conductive region, and a first portion of the conductor overlying the first portion of the dielectric separated from a second portion of the conductor overlying the second portion of the dielectric.
