Semiconductor devices are described that include a capacitor integrated therein. In an implementation, the semiconductor devices include a substrate. The substrate includes multiple capacitor regions, such as a first capacitor region and a second capacitor region that are adjacent to one another. Each capacitor region includes trenches that are formed within the substrate. A metal-insulator-metal capacitor is formed within the trenches and at least partially over the substrate. The trenches disposed within the first capacitor region are at least substantially perpendicular to the trenches disposed within the second capacitor region.

Semiconductor device having trench capacitor structure integrated therein

Semiconductor devices are described that include a capacitor integrated therein. In an implementation, the semiconductor devices include a substrate including a dopant material of a first conductivity type. A plurality of trenches are formed within the substrate. The semiconductor devices also include a diffusion region having dopant material of a second conductivity type formed proximate to the trenches. A capacitor is formed within the trenches and at least partially over the substrate. The capacitor includes at least a first electrode, a second electrode, and a dielectric material formed between the first and second electrodes.
