1. A capacitor comprising:

  • a first via level comprising first metal bars and first vias, the first metal bars being coupled to a first potential node, the first metal bars having a longer length than the first vias; and

    a second via level comprising second metal bars and second vias, the second metal bars coupled to the first potential node, the second via level being above the first via level, the second metal bars having a longer length than the second vias, wherein the first metal bars are parallel to the second metal bars, wherein each of the first metal bars has a first end, an opposite second end, and a middle portion between the first and the second ends, and wherein each of the middle portions of the first metal bars and the second ends of the first metal bars do not contact any metal line.
