Abstract

The invention relates to a multiple-component unit in which at least two passive components have been realized one above the other. A multiple-component unit thus comprises at least one resistor and at least one capacitor, or at least two capacitors. This space-saving construction allows for a miniaturization of circuits. A further miniaturization can be achieved in that the multiple-component units are not manufactured as discrete components, but are integrated into ICs.
