Abstract

A capacitive device includes a first electrode comprising a nanosheet stack, and a second electrode comprising a nanosheet stack, the second electrode arranged substantially parallel to the first electrode. A first conductive contact is arranged on a basal end of the first electrode, and a second conductive contact arranged on a basal end of the second electrode.
