Abstract
Abstract A capacitive element of a semiconductor integrated circuit comprising a first conductor provided in the input side and a second conductor provided in the output side further includes a third conductor to be connected with the first conductor. The front and back surfaces of the second conductor are entirely covered by the first and third conductors. Portions connecting the first and third conductors are arranged along the peripheral edge portions of the second conductor excepting a signal extracting portion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A semiconductor integrated circuit for propagating signals through a capacitive element comprising a first conductor provided in the input side, a second conductor provided in the output side, and a signal output extracting portion connected to the second conductor, said capacitive element further including a third conductor connected to said first conductor with said second conductor being interposed between said third conductor and said first conductor together substantially entirely covering front and back surfaces of said second conductor, portions connecting said first and third conductors together, said connect-ing portions being arranged along substantially the entire peripheral edge portions of said second conductor excepting said signal extracting portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A semiconductor integrated circuit for propagating signals through a capacitive element comprising a first conductor provided in the input side, a second conductor provided in the output side, and a signal output extracting portion connected to the second conductor, said capacitive element further including a third conductor connected to said first conductor with said second conductor being interposed between said third conductor and said first conductor together substantially entirely covering front and back surfaces of said second conductor, portions connecting said first and third conductors together, said connect-ing portions being arranged along substantially the entire peripheral edge portions of said second conductor excepting said signal extracting portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
