  • Abstract
    This paper reports on a new investigation carried out on the grounding arrangement of monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) thin film capacitors to improve their high frequency behavior. Via holes have been etched on the PZT to create the ground contact. The measurement shows an improvement in the capacitor response compared to direct contact to the exposed Pt area at the film edge.
