Vertical Parallel Plate (VPP) capacitors

Spice Model Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Cell Name: :cell:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_XXpXxYYpY_{MM}(_shield(SS)*)(_float(FF)*)(_(VVVV))`
- Model Names: :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_*`
- X and Y are size dimentions
- MM refers to the layers which are used for the capacitance
- SS refers to the layers which are used as shields (`noshield` when no shield is used)
- FF refers to the layers which are floating.
- VVVVV refers to the "variant" when there are multiple devices of the same configuration
Operating Voltages where SPICE models are valid
- :math:`|V_{c0} V_{c1}| = 0` to 5.5V
Details
~~~~~~~
The VPP caps utilize the tight spacings of the metal lines to create capacitors using the available metal layers. The fingers go in opposite directions to minimize alignment-related variability, and the capacitor sits on field oxide to minimize silicon capacitance effects. A schematic diagram of the layout is shown below:

These capacitors are fixed-size, and they can be connected together to multiply the effective capacitance of a given node. There are two different constructions.
Parallel VPP Capacitors
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These are older versions, where stacked metal lines run parallel:
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_08p6x07p8_m1m2_noshield` (M1 \|\| M2 only, 7.84 x 8.58)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_04p4x04p6_m1m2_noshield_o2` (M1 \|\| M2 only, 4.38 x 4.59)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_02p4x04p6_m1m2_noshield` (M1 \|\| M2 only, 2.19 x 4.59)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_04p4x04p6_m1m2_noshield` (M1 :sub:`┴` M2, 4.4 x 4.6, 4 quadrants)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_11p5x11p7_m1m2_noshield` (M1 :sub:`┴` M2, 11.5 x 11.7, 4 quadrants)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_44p7x23p1_pol1m1m2m3m4m5_noshield`
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_02p7x06p1_m1m2m3m4_shieldl1_fingercap` (M1 \|\| M2 \|\| M3 \|\| M4, 2.7 x 5.0)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_02p9x06p1_m1m2m3m4_shieldl1_fingercap2` (M1 \|\| M2 \|\| M3 \|\| M4, 2.85 x 5.0)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_02p7x11p1_m1m2m3m4_shieldl1_fingercap` (M1 \|\| M2 \|\| M3 \|\| M4, 2.7 x 10.0)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_02p7x21p1_m1m2m3m4_shieldl1_fingercap` (M1 \|\| M2 \|\| M3 \|\| M4, 2.7 x 20.0)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_02p7x41p1_m1m2m3m4_shieldl1_fingercap` (M1 \|\| M2 \|\| M3 \|\| M4, 2.7 x 40.0)
The symbol for these capacitors is shown below. The terminals c0 and c1 represent the two sides of the capacitor, with b as the body (sub or well).

Perpendicular VPP Capacitors
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These are newer versions, where stacked metal lines run perpendicular and there are shields on top and bottom:
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_11p5x11p7_l1m1m2m3m4_shieldm5` (11.5x11.7, with M5 shield)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_11p5x11p7_l1m1m2m3m4_shieldpom5` (11.5x11.7, with poly and M5 shield)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_11p5x11p7_m1m2m3m4_shieldl1m5` (11.5x11.7, with LI and M5 shield)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_04p4x04p6_m1m2m3_shieldl1m5_floatm4` (4.4x4.6, M3 float, LI / M5 shield)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_08p6x07p8_m1m2m3_shieldl1m5_floatm4` (8.6x7.9, M3 float, LI / M5 shield)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_11p5x11p7_m1m2m3_shieldl1m5_floatm4` (11.5x11.7, M3 float, LI / M5 shield)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_11p5x11p7_l1m1m2m3_shieldm4` (11.5x11.7, with M4 shield)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_06p8x06p1_l1m1m2m3_shieldpom4` (6.8x6.1, with poly and M4 shield)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_06p8x06p1_m1m2m3_shieldl1m4` (6.8x6.1, with LI and M4 shield)
- :model:`sky130_fd_pr__cap_vpp_11p3x11p8_l1m1m2m3m4_shieldm5` (11.5x11.7, over 2 :model:`sky130_fd_pr__nfet_05v0_nvt` of 10/4 each)
The symbol for these capacitors is shown below. The terminals c0 and c1 are the two capacitor terminals, “top” represents the top shield and “sub” the bottom shield.

The capacitors are fixed-size elements and must be used as-is; they can be used in multiples.
