  • Integrated electronic circuit comprising a capacitor and a planar interference inhibiting metallic screen
    Patent number: 7282803
    Abstract: An electronic circuit includes a substrate. A capacitor and at least one semiconductor component are supported by a surface of the substrate. A substantially planar screen, oriented parallel to the surface of the substrate and made of metallic material, is placed between the capacitor and the semiconductor component. Preferably, the semiconductor component is placed in proximity to the surface of the substrate and several superposed layers of insulating material cover the surface of the substrate and the semiconductor component. The capacitor is then placed within at least one layer of insulating material above the semiconductor component, and the screen is placed within an intermediate layer of insulating material between the layer incorporating the capacitor and the surface of the substrate.

  • Circuit comprising a capacitor and at least one semiconductor component, and method of designing same
    Publication number: 20050242438
    Abstract: An electronic circuit comprises a substrate (100), a capacitor (11) and at least one semiconductor component (10) which are supported by a surface (S) of the substrate. A substantially plane screen (12), parallel to the surface of the substrate and made of metallic material, is furthermore placed between the capacitor and the semiconductor component. Preferably, the semiconductor component is placed in proximity to the surface (S) of the substrate and several superposed layers (1-6) of insulating material cover the surface of the substrate and the semiconductor component. The capacitor is then placed within at least one layer (5) of insulating material above the semiconductor component, and the screen (12) is placed within an intermediate layer (4) of insulating material between the layer incorporating the capacitor and the surface (S) of the substrate.
