Abstract
Transmission line structures are provided. The first and second conductive lines are formed in a metal layer over the semiconductor substrate and extend in a first direction. The first transmission line includes a first sub-line extending in the first direction, a plurality of second sub-lines extending toward the first conductive line, and a plurality of third sub-lines extending toward the second conductive line. The first dielectric material zones are formed between the second sub-lines and the first conductive line. The second dielectric material zones are formed between the third sub-lines and the second conductive line. The first and second dielectric material zones are separated from the first and second conductive lines and the first transmission line by an insulation material. Dielectric constant of the insulation material is less than that of the first and second dielectric material zones.
