a method of creating an on - chip capacitor includes : arranging , within a first layer , a first layer first polarity conducting strip adjacent to and spaced apart from a first layer second polarity conducting strip ; arranging , within a second layer , a second layer first polarity conducting strip adjacent to and spaced apart from a second layer second polarity conducting strip , wherein the second layer second polarity conducting strip overlies the first layer second polarity conducting strip , and the second layer first polarity conducting strip overlies the first layer first polarity conducting strip ; electrically connecting the first layer first - polarity conducting strip with the second layer first polarity conducting strip ; and electrically connecting the first - layer second polarity conducting strip with the second layer second - polarity conducting strip .
