A thin film capacitor with small electrode resistance and great Q-value which
comprises
a small number of thin films that are deposited successively is disclosed. It is
effective for miniaturization and high density packaging of a device and for preventing
poor characteristics and degradation of reliability. A plurality of lower electrodes
2 are provided on a supporting substrate 1, which are spaced apart
from each other in a high frequency signal propagation direction P. Two upper electrodes
5 spaced apart from each other in the high frequency signal propagation
direction P are provided on one of the plurality of the lower electrodes 2
through a thin film dielectric layer 4, by which two capacitance elements
are formed. The upper electrodes 5 are connected together by an extraction
electrode 8 so that the two capacitance elements are connected in series.
A maximum distance L1 between the two upper electrodes 5 in the high
frequency signal propagation direction P is smaller than a minimum length W1
of the upper electrodes 5 in the direction perpendicular to the high frequency
signal propagation direction P in plan view.
