Abstract:
1. A capacitor structure formed within a Faraday cage in an integrated circuit, comprising: a first isolation layer having an inner surface and an outer surface; a second isolation layer having an inner surface and an outer surface; a capacitor disposed between the inner surfaces of the first and second isolation layers; a first shield layer having a first group of mutually electrically conductive spaced apart traces disposed upon the outer surface of the first isolation layer; and a second shield layer having a second group of mutually electrically conductive spaced apart traces disposed upon the outer surface of the second isolation layer, wherein the first group of mutually electrically conductive spaced apart traces are connected to the second group of mutually electrically conductive spaced apart traces through conductive elements distributed along an outer perimeter of the first isolation layer and an outer perimeter of the second isolation layer.
