Abstract
A transistor includes a semiconductor substrate having an intrinsic active device, a first terminal, and a second terminal. The transistor also includes an interconnect structure formed of layers of dielectric material and electrically conductive material on the semiconductor substrate. The interconnect structure includes a pillar, a tap interconnect, and a shield structure positioned between the pillar and the tap interconnect formed from the electrically conductive material and extending through the dielectric material. The pillar contacts the first terminal and connects to a first runner. The tap interconnect contacts the second terminal and connects to a second runner. The shield structure includes a base segment, a first leg, and a second leg extending from opposing ends of the base segment, wherein the first and second legs extend from opposing ends of the base segment in a direction that is antiparallel to a length of the base segment.
