A structure and method of manufacturing a CMOS device where the Coplanar wave guide (CPW) lines are formed above the top metal lines. Also other insulating layers are provided that reduce the e-field from the signal line to the substrate. There are four embodiments. In the first embodiment, the following layers are formed over the semiconductor structure: the passivation layer, a shielding layer, a first insulator layer, a high K dielectric layer, a CPW and a second insulator layer. In the second embodiment, no shielding layer is used and the high k dielectric layer is thicker than in the first embodiment. In the third embodiment, a thick shielding layer is used and no high k dielectric layer. In the fourth embodiment, the top metal layer is used as a shielding layer and no high k dielectric layer is used.
