A capacitor includes one or more conductive interconnections contacting an active region of a first conductive plate of the capacitor at a plurality of locations along a lengthwise direction, such that every portion of the active region of the first conductive plate lies within a maximum distance from one of the locations, the maximum distance being less than the lateral dimension of the active region.
