Abstract
The present invention provides for a capacitor structure on a semiconductor substrate with an enhanced capacitance. The structure has a first layer of conducting strips parallel to each other on the substrate and a second layer of conducting strips which are parallel to each other. The second layer strips overlie and are substantially congruent to the first layer conducting strips in a top view of the semiconductor substrate. The first layer conducting strips are alternately connected to a first node and a second node, and the second layer conducting strips are alternately connected to the first node and the second node in such a manner that each first layer conducting strip and a second layer conducting strip overlying the first layer conducting strip are connected to different nodes. The first and second nodes form two opposing nodes of the capacitor structure.
