Abstract

See full text

The invention includes methods of forming pluralities of capacitors. In one implementation, a method of forming a plurality of capacitors includes providing a plurality of capacitor electrodes within a capacitor array area over a substrate. The capacitor electrodes comprise outer lateral sidewalls. The plurality of capacitor electrodes is supported at least in part with a retaining structure which engages the outer lateral sidewalls. The retaining structure is formed at least in part by etching a layer of material which is not masked anywhere within the capacitor array area to form said retaining structure. The plurality of capacitor electrodes is incorporated into a plurality of capacitors. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.
