Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a substrate and a first metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor. The first MIM capacitor includes a first plate comprising a first metallization layer on a surface of the substrate. The first MIM capacitor also includes a first MIM insulator layer on a first portion of a surface of the first plate, a sidewall of the first plate, and a first portion of the surface of the substrate. The first MIM capacitor further includes a second plate on the first MIM insulator layer and on a second portion of the surface of the substrate, the second plate comprising a second metallization layer. The IC also includes an inductor comprising a portion of the second plate on the second portion of the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: An exemplary tunable circuit includes an inductor coupled to a node and a first capacitor coupled to the node. The tunable circuit also includes a variable capacitor coupled to the node, such that a total capacitance of the tunable circuit depends on a fixed capacitance of the first capacitor and a variable capacitance of the variable capacitor. In an example, the inductor and the first capacitor are both included in a passive device and the variable capacitor is in a semiconductor device. The variable capacitor allows the total capacitance to be modified for the purpose of, for example, calibrating the capacitance to account for manufacturing variations, and/or adjusting to a frequency range of operation used by wireless devices in a region of the world. The first capacitor may be a higher quality capacitor providing a larger portion of the total capacitance than the variable capacitor.

Abstract: Some features pertain to a substrate, and a first inductor integrated into the substrate. The first inductor includes a plurality of first inductor windings in a first metal layer and a second metal layer. A second inductor is integrated into the substrate. The second inductor includes a first spiral in a third metal layer. The first spiral is located at least partially inside the plurality of first inductor windings, wherein the second inductor is perpendicular to the first inductor.
