Abstract
A first capacitor electrode of the capacitor, which is arranged on a surface of a substrate ( ), has a lower part (T) and a lateral part (S) arranged thereon. At least a first lateral area of the lateral part (S) is undulatory in such a way that it has bulges and indentations alternately which are formed along lines each running in a plane parallel to the surface of the substrate ( ). The lateral part (T) can be produced by depositing conductive material in a depression (V) which is produced in a layer sequence whose layers are composed alternately of a first material and a second material and in which the first material is subjected to wet etching selectively with respect to the second material down to a first depth. The first capacitor electrode is provided with a capacitor dielectric (KD). A second capacitor electrode (P) adjoins the capacitor dielectric (KD).
