An integrated circuit includes a semiconducting substrate (110), electrically conductive layers (120) over the semiconducting substrate, and a capacitor (130) at least partially embedded within the semiconducting substrate such that the capacitor is entirely underneath the electrically conductive layers. A storage node voltage is on an outside layer (132) of the capacitor. In the same or another embodiment, the integrated circuit may act as a 1T-1C embedded memory cell including the semiconducting substrate, an electrically insulating stack (160) over the semiconducting substrate, a transistor (140) including a source/drain region (142) within the semiconducting substrate and a gate region (141) above the semiconducting substrate, a trench (111) extending through the electrically insulating layers and into the semiconducting substrate, a first electrically insulating layer (131) located within the trench, and the capacitor located within the trench interior to the first electrically insulating layer.
