Abstract

The present disclosure provides a semiconductor structure which comprises a semiconductive substrate and a doped region in the semiconductive substrate. The doped region has a conductivity type opposite to the semiconductive substrate. The semiconductor structure also includes a capacitor in the doped region where the capacitor comprises a plurality of electrodes and the plurality of electrodes are insulated with one another. The semiconductor structure further includes a plug in the capacitor and surrounded by the plurality of electrodes.
