Abstract
A capacitor having a double sided electrode for enhanced capacitance. In one embodiment, the double sided electrode capacitor is a stacked container capacitor used in a dynamic random access memory circuit. The double sided electrode is preferably formed of a conductive metal, provided that an oxide of the metal is conductive. The double sided electrode capacitor provides a capacitor that has high storage capacitance which provides an increased efficiency for a cell without an increase in the size of the cell.
