Abstract
A number of known circuit configurations require high-ratio-accuracy capacitors. Maintaining such ratios during the various processing steps involved in fabricating the configurations in integrated-circuit form has been found to be difficult. In accordance with this invention, ratio capacitors are made in integrated-circuit form utilizing a unique geometry. In one specific embodiment, a so-called H-section geometry that is largely insensitive to processing variations is utilized to form the capacitors. In this way, high-yield low-parasitic precisely matched pairs of ratio capacitors are achieved.
