Abstract
A passive tunable integrated circuit (PTIC) includes a semiconductor die (die) having a plurality of barium strontium titanate (BST) tunable capacitors. The plurality of BST tunable capacitors collectively define a capacitative area of the die. At least one electrical contact is electrically coupled with the plurality of BST tunable capacitors. A redistribution layer electrically couples the at least one electrical contact with at least one electrically conductive contact pad (contact pad). The at least one contact pad is located over the capacitative area. A bump electrically couples with the at least one contact pad and is located over the capacitative area. An electrically insulative layer couples between each contact pad of the PTIC and the plurality of BST tunable capacitors.
