An example three-dimensional capacitor includes first and second capacitor electrodes and a capacitor insulator between them. Each capacitor electrode includes a planar portion extending across the support structure and one or more via portions extending into one or more via openings in the support structure. The capacitor insulator also includes a planar portion and a via portion extending into the via opening(s). The planar portion of the capacitor electrodes are thicker than the via portions. Each capacitor electrode may be deposited using two deposition processes, such as a conformal deposition process for depositing the via portion of the electrode, and a sputter process for depositing the planar portion of the electrode.

The metal plate is coupled to an MIM capacitor that is parallel to the via. The second metal interconnect is on top of the metal in the via.

Abstract: A User Plane Function (UPF) of 5G Core network performs a search for the next hop in the data path, using utilities (e.g., Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) trace route), and determines the capability of the next router and/or other hops in the path. The UPF updates (e.g., using the PATCH command) the Network Repository Function (NRF) with the gathered information. The UPF also updates the NRF the UPF's position in the current route, and the role(s) the UPF is playing at a given time, e.g., Branching Point (BP), Intermediate User Plane Function (I-UPF), and the like. The SMF is enabled to identify the UPF's capability for a given PDU Session. The selection of a given UPF for non-suitable roles can be prevented, and the UPF can be selected for those roles in which the UPF is more suitable at a given time.
