A metal capacitor is formed with good conductivity for both nodes of the capacitor and improved reliability. An embodiment includes a first layer of alternating first and second metal lines, a second layer of alternating third and fourth metal lines, a dielectric layer between the first and second layers, and vias in the dielectric layer connecting the first and second metal lines with the third and fourth metal lines, respectively, wherein each metal line comprises alternating first segments having a first width and second segments having a second width, the first width being greater than the second width, each first segment lying adjacent to a second segment of an adjacent metal line, and only first segments of the metal lines overlapping the vias. The design enables the spacing between metal lines to be maintained, the spacing between via to metal to be increased, and via connection to be maintained for both nets, thereby improving the conductivity and reliability of the capacitor and maintaining capacitance density.
