Abstract
A trench capacitor includes at least one epitaxial semiconductor surface layer on a semiconductor substrate having a doping level that is less than a doping level of the semiconductor substrate. A plurality of trenches are formed through at least one half of a thickness of the epitaxial semiconductor surface layer. The epitaxial semiconductor surface layer is thicker than a depth of the plurality of trenches. At least one capacitor dielectric layer lines a surface of the trenches. At least one trench fill layer on the dielectric layer fills the trenches.
