Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a metal-on-metal (MoM) capacitor with metal layers, each layer having two different electrical conductors with orthogonally-arranged conductive arteries and orthogonally-oriented conductive fingers. One exemplary MoM capacitor generally includes a plurality of metal layers, wherein a first metal layer in the plurality of metal layers comprises a first electrical conductor providing a first node of the MoM capacitor and a second electrical conductor providing a second node of the MoM capacitor. According to aspects, the first electrical conductor comprises a first plurality of conductive fingers and the second electrical conductor comprises a second plurality of conductive fingers. Further, conductive fingers of the first plurality of conductive fingers are interdigitated with conductive fingers of the second plurality of conductive fingers. Additionally, the first electrical conductor in the first metal layer is oriented orthogonal to the second electrical conductor in the first metal layer.
