Abstract

A passive semiconductor structure for reduction of the mutual capacitance between parallel conductors, with two parallel conductors separated from a substrate by a first dielectric layer and covered by a second dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer having a cavity formed between these conductors, whereby the effective relative dielectric constant of the medium between these conductors is reduced.
