Abstract: A semiconductor structure may implement a metal-oxide-metal capacitor. When layer design rules change from one layer to the next, the structure may change the direction of the interleaved plates of the capacitor. For example, when the metallization width or spacing design rules change from layer M3 to layer M4, the structure may run the capacitor traces in different directions (e.g., orthogonal to one another) on M3 as compared to M4. Among the layers that adhere to the same design rules, for example layers M1, M2, and M3, the structure may run the capacitor traces in the same direction in each of the layers M1, M2, and M3. In this way, the capacitor traces overlap to large extent without misalignment on layers that have the same design rules, and the structure avoids misalignment of the capacitor traces when the design rules change.

Abstract: The capacitor module includes a capacitor, in which a screw hole is arranged on an outer bottom wall surface of a capacitor case housing a capacitor element, and a heat dissipater, on which a plurality of capacitor cases are fixated by screwing fixation screws in the screw holes of the capacitors. As a result, for example, the capacitor can be fixated with reliability and durability secured even under a condition where very strong vibration is continuously applied, for example, when the capacitor module is mounted on construction machinery. Further, because, an adherence of the outer bottom wall surface of the capacitor case on a fixation surface of the heat dissipater is strengthened by screwing the fixation screw in the screw hole, the capacitor can be cooled down by transferring heat produced by the capacitor to the heat dissipater as needed.
