Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a capacitor (e.g., a folded metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitor) formed in the lower BEOL interconnect levels, without degrading an inductor's Q-factor. The integrated circuit includes the capacitor in one or more back-end-of-line (BEOL) interconnect levels. The capacitor includes multiple folded capacitor fingers having multiple sides and a pair of manifolds on a same side of the folded capacitor fingers. Each of the pair of manifolds is coupled to one or more of the folded capacitor fingers. The integrated circuit also includes an inductive trace having one or more turns in one or more different BEOL interconnect levels. The inductive trace overlaps one or more portions of the capacitor.
