Abstract
A preferred method includes providing a substrate and depositing a capacitor material upon the substrate. A portion of the capacitor material is then removed to form an interdigitated capacitor structure that incorporates a first contact and a second contact. Thereafter, a dielectric material is applied upon the interdigitated capacitor structure so that the structure is at least partially encapsulated by the substrate and the dielectric material. Capacitor structures also are provided.
