Abstract

A shielded electrical connection of the integrated type comprises a connection element and a shielding element. The connection element includes a first substantially planar structure of a first conducting material and is placed vertically above and isolated from a semiconductor substrate and which occupies a first flat region. The shielding element includes a second substantially planar structure of a second conducting material and is placed vertically between the first structure and the substrate and which occupies a second flat region. A third substantially planar structure made of a third conducting material is placed vertically above the first structure and which occupies a third flat region. The first region does not extend outside the second and third regions. Furthermore, the second and third structures are connected electrically together and to a reference of potential and are electrically insulated from the first structure and the substrate.
