Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a capacitor having a first conductor plate, a second conductor plate, and a portion of a dielectric layer interposed therebetween. The semiconductor device includes a plurality of first contact structures in electrical contact with the first conductor plate. The semiconductor device includes a plurality of second contact structures in electrical contact with the second conductor plate. The plurality of first contact structures and the plurality of second contact structures are laterally arranged in a checkboard pattern, thereby causing each of the plurality of first contact structures to be surrounded by respective four of the plurality of second contact structures.
