A passive device and module for a transceiver, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The passive device includes a semiconductor or a dielectric substrate, at least one capacitor, at least one inductor, a viahole, a metal electrode, radio frequency signals, a radio frequency ground, a packaging substrate. The capacitor is formed on a first surface of the substrate. The inductor is formed on a second surface of the substrate that is opposite to the first surface. The viahole penetrates through the substrate. The metal electrode is formed on the viahole and electrically connects the capacitor on the first surface and the inductor on the second surface. The radio frequency ground is formed on the substrate and isolated from the radio frequency signals. The packaging substrate is bonded on the substrate, having a cavity covering a structure on the bonded surface of the substrate. Also, use of MEMS technique can reduce insertion loss of inductors, which improves the communication quality of the communication systems.

A high-frequency module (10) includes a semiconductor chip device (20) that is mounted on an external circuit substrate (300) by wire bonding. A switch forming section (101), a power amplifier forming section (102) and a low noise amplifier forming section (103), realized by a group of FETs, which are active elements, are formed in the semiconductor chip device (20). In addition, flat plate electrodes, which form capacitors (121, 122, 123) are formed in the semiconductor chip device (20). Conductor wires (211, 212, 213) that connect the external circuit substrate (300) and the semiconductor chip device 20 function as inductors. Thus, a group of passive elements that includes inductors and capacitors is formed. As a result, a high-frequency module that can be reduced in size while still obtaining the required transmission characteristic can be provided.
