Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatus for managing capacitors in memory devices, e.g., three-dimensional (3D) memory devices are provided. In one aspect, a capacitor includes: a first terminal, a second terminal conductively insulated from the first terminal, and a capacitance structure that includes a plurality of layers sequentially stacked together. At least one layer includes: one or more first conductive parts and one or more second conductive parts that are conductively insulated in the layer, the one or more first conductive parts being conductively coupled to the first terminal, the one or more second conductive parts being conductively coupled to the second terminal. The at least one layer is configured such that at least one of the one or more second conductive parts forms at least one subordinate capacitor with at least one adjacent first conductive part.
