Abstract

An integrated circuit (IC) includes a capacitor array in at least one first back-end-of-line (BEOL) interconnect level. The capacitor array includes a pair of capacitor manifolds coupled to parallel capacitor routing traces and capacitors coupled between each pair of parallel capacitor routing traces. The IC also includes an inductor trace having at least one turn in at least one second BEOL interconnect level. The inductor trace defines a perimeter to overlap at least a portion of the capacitor array.
