A capacitor structure is described. The capacitor structure includes a substrate; a plurality of source/drain regions formed in said substrate to form an active area, the active area having an active area width; and a first and a second plurality of gates formed above the substrate. Each gate of the first and second plurality of gates having a gate width. The gate width is configured to be less than the active area width and each gate of the first and second plurality of gates is formed between a pair of source/drain regions of the plurality of source/drain regions such that the first plurality of gates interleave with the second plurality of gates.
