Abstract

An electronic component is described and has a dielectric layer which is constructed on a substrate, conductive surfaces that are constructed on the dielectric layer, and an electrically conductive guard structure. The guard structure is disposed in a plane above the conductive surfaces such that the conductive surfaces are not completely covered by the guard structure.
