A capacitor core is formed on a semiconductor device with a first conductive layer in contact with a plug. A mold is formed from a stack of alternately doped and undoped silicon dioxide layers on the sublayer with the stack comprising a bottom layer formed on top of the sublayer and each additional layer in the stack formed on a previous one of the layers in the stack. Pattern the silicon dioxide layers in the mold which are alternatingly doped and undoped to form an intercore, capacitor-core-shaping cavity in the stack of silicon dioxide layers reaching down through the stack to be bottom of the stack. Then perform differential etching of the silicon dioxide layers in the mold. Form undercut edges in the doped silicon dioxide layers with the undoped silicon dioxide layers having cantilevered ribs projecting from the stacks into the cavity to complete the mold. Deposit a bulk or a thin film second monolithic conductive layer into the cavity to form a monolithic capacitor core with counterpart cantilevered ribs.
