Abstract

In electronic circuits besides active devices a major part of the components are discrete passive components such as capacitors, resistors and inductors. Especially in the telecommunication circuits, miniaturisation is a major issue. To achieve a high degree of miniaturisation of passive components, thin film processes have been applied. A thin film module for high frequency applications has been demonstrated with a three-dimensional integration of a thin film resistor, a thin film X7R capacitor and a thin film NP0 capacitor processed on top of each other.
