Patent ID: 7022581

Claim:
Method for the manufacture of a capacitor pair device, the capacitor pair device having a first capacitor and a second capacitor, comprising the steps of: a. providing a substrate, b. depositing an electrically conductive layer on the substrate, c. patterning the conductive layer in a single operation to form: i. a first conductive comb structure forming a plate of the first capacitor of the capacitor pair, ii. a second conductive comb structure forming another plate of the second capacitor of the capacitor pair, the second conductive comb structure interdigitated with the first comb structure, and iii. a continuous conductive runner interleaved between the first conductive comb structure and the second conductive comb structure, the continuous conductive runner forming the first capacitor with the first conductive comb structure and the second capacitor with the second conductive comb structure, thus forming the capacitor pair.
