TUMA8: How to Design a Custom integrated High Q / Millimeter Wave, Single Layer Capacitor Using Thin Film Technology.

Abstract
High frequency capacitors are small / difficult to handle and are highly dependent on your layout. In general, they restrict your design flexibility and increase the difficulty of your design. Vishay’s MIM capacitors remove all the difficulties in designing with high frequency capacitors and are easy to accurately simulate because they are like ideal custom-built parallel plate capacitors. You just need to keep a couple of things in mind. • Layout is critical • They can be simulated like ideal capacitors using 2 plates, a dielectric and its thickness.
