Abstract

A capacitor assembly () is formed on a substrate (). The capacitor assembly a first conductive plate () and a second conductive plate () formed over the substrate such that the second conductive plate is separated from the first conductive plate by a distance. A conductive trace () is formed over the substrate that is connected to the first conductive plate and extends away from the capacitor assembly. A conductive shield () is formed over at least a portion of the conductive trace that is separated from the first and second conductive plates to control a fringe capacitance between the second conductive plate and the conductive trace.
