Patent attributes
A method of forming an array of capacitors comprises forming rows and columns of horizontally-spaced openings in a sacrificial material. Fill material is formed in multiple of the columns of the openings and lower capacitor electrodes a are formed in a plurality of the columns that are between the columns of the openings comprising the fill material therein. The fill material is of different composition from that of the lower capacitor electrodes. The fill material is between a plurality of horizontally-spaced groups that individually comprises the lower capacitor electrodes. Immediately-adjacent of the groups are horizontally spaced apart from one another by a gap that comprises at least one of the columns of the openings comprising the fill material therein. The sacrificial material is removed to expose laterally-outer sides of the lower capacitor electrodes. A capacitor insulator is formed over tops and the laterally-outer sides of the lower capacitor electrodes. Upper capacitor electrode material is formed over the capacitor insulator and the lower capacitor electrodes. A horizontally-elongated conductive line is formed atop individual of the groups that directly electrically couple together the upper capacitor electrode material there-below in that individual group.
