Patent ID: 8861214

Claim:
An integrated passive device (IPD) module comprising: a microelectronic device including a silicon layer, wherein a surface of the silicon layer comprises a (i) first section and (ii) a remaining section that comprises the entire surface of the silicon layer excluding the first section, a glass layer formed on the silicon layer, the glass layer having a pre-determined thickness, a passive device mounted on the glass layer such that the passive device occupies the first section of the silicon layer, wherein the glass layer is formed only on the first section of the silicon layer, and the glass layer is not formed on the remaining section of the silicon layer, wherein the pre-determined thickness of the glass layer separates the passive device from the silicon layer such that electrical interaction between the passive device and the silicon layer is eliminated; and an integrated circuit chip electrically coupled to the passive device, wherein the passive device is disposed between the integrated circuit chip and the glass layer.
