Abstract
An approach provides a metal-insulator-metal capacitor with a comb-like structure. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor includes a first electrode material forming a central, vertical portion of the first electrode metal and two sets of stacked horizontal portions of the first electrode metal. An insulator material surrounds the first electrode metal and exposes a top surface of the central, vertical portion of the first electrode metal. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor includes a second electrode material surrounding the insulator material. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor includes a first electrode contact connecting to the top surface of the central, vertical portion of the first electrode metal and a second electrode contact connecting to a top surface of the second electrode material.
