  • Publication number: 20070181973
    Abstract: A capacitor structure including a plurality of conductive layers, a dielectric layer and a plurality of contacts is disclosed. The conductive layers are stacked, and each conductive layer has a first conductive pattern and a second conductive pattern. The dielectric layer is disposed between the first conductive pattern and the second conductive pattern and between two adjacent conductive layers. The contacts are disposed in the dielectric layer, and electrically connected to the first conductive patterns in two adjacent conductive layers and electrically connected to the second conductive patterns in two adjacent conductive layers. Wherein, the contact electrically connecting to the first conductive patterns in two adjacent conducive layers is a first strip contact, which extends between the first conductive patterns in two adjacent conductive layers, and the boundary of the first strip contact is located within the boundary of the first conductive pattern.
