ABSTRACT:
A capacitor in an integrated circuit (“IC”) has a first node conductor formed in a first metal layer of the IC with a first spine extending along a first direction, a first vertical element extending from the first spine along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A first capital element extends along the first direction, and a first serif element extends from the capital element. The capacitor also has a second node conductor having a second spine, a second vertical element extending from the second spine toward the first spine, a second capital element, and a second serif element extending from the second capital between the first vertical element and the first serif element.
