Patent attributes
Capacitor structures, and apparatus containing similar capacitor structures, might include a first conductive region having a first portion and second and third portions extending from an upper surface of its first portion, a second conductive region having a first portion and a second portion extending from an upper surface of its first portion, a dielectric overlying the second portion of the first conductive region, a conductor overlying the dielectric, and a conductive element overlying the third portion of the first conductive region and overlying the second portion of the second conductive region, wherein the first conductive region has a first conductivity type and the second conductive region has a second conductivity type different than the first conductivity type.
