1. A structure comprising:
- (1) a dielectric layer having a first face, a second face, and at least one edge;
(2) a common interconnect for a first capacitor and a second capacitor, wherein the common interconnect covers at least a portion of the first face of the dielectric layer, covers at least one edge of the dielectric layer, and covers a portion of the second face of the dielectric layer;
(3) a terminal of the first capacitor, wherein the terminal of the first capacitor covers a first portion of the second face of the dielectric layer and does not contact the common interconnect;
(4) a terminal of the second capacitor, wherein the terminal of the second capacitor covers a second portion of the second face of the dielectric layer and does not contact the common interconnect and the terminal of the first capacitor.

Abstract
A thin film capacitor and methods for forming the same are described. The capacitor has dielectric layer with a first face, a second face, and at least one edge. The first terminal of the capacitor covers at least a portion of the first face of the dielectric layer, covers at least a portion of one edge of the dielectric layer, and covers a portion of the second face of the dielectric layer. The second terminal of the capacitor covers a portion of the second face of the dielectric layer and does not contact the first terminal. A method for forming the thin film capacitor includes hard baking photoresist at an elevated temperature and anodizing an exposed metal area using the photoresist as a mask.
