ABSTRACT:
A layered capacitor having top and bottom plates formed from multiple layers. The capacitor has a bottom layer comprising a bottom plate portion and at least one upper layer, each upper layer comprising top and bottom plate portions. A first set of vias connect the bottom plate portions and a second set of vias connect the top plate portions. The bottom plate portions and the first set of vias comprise a U-shaped bottom plate and the top plate portions and the second set of vias comprise a top plate of the capacitor device. The layers may comprise metal layers produced using semiconductor fabrication methods. Also provided is a capacitor array having two or more capacitors where connectors connect all top plate portions of the capacitors. The capacitor array may be used in a capacitive DAC, which may be used in a SAR ADC.
