WIRE-BOND TRANSMISSION LINE RC CIRCUIT

摘要

Disclosed are apparatus and associated methodology providing for fixed components that exhibit tailorable variations in frequency response depending on the applied frequencies over the components useful frequency range. The presently disclosed subject matter provides improved operational characteristics of generally known transmission line capacitor devices by providing a parallel resistive component constructed as a portion of the dielectric separating electrodes corresponding to a capacitor.

1. An RC circuit component for insertion in a transmission line, comprising:
a monolithic substrate having a top surface; a capacitor supported on said substrate top surface and having first and second electrodes separated at least in part by a dielectric layer; and a thin-film resistor received at least in part between said capacitor first and second electrodes, and connected in parallel with said capacitor; wherein the frequency response of said RC circuit component depends on the applied frequencies over the components useful frequency range.
