Abstract
An electronic device has a conductive shield between first and second regions in a multilevel metallization structure, as well as a capacitor with first and second terminals in the first region, the first terminal laterally overlaps the second terminal by an overlap distance of 1.0 μm to 6.0 μm, the conductive shield includes a first metal line that encircles the first terminal, and the first metal line is spaced apart from the first terminal by a gap distance of 0.5 μm to 1.0 μm.
