Abstract. A novel approach for fabrication of passive RF-elements on the top of passivated semiconductor microchips with open bond pads after BEOL is described. The post-process step is independent from the technology used to manufacture the semiconductor device. It is applicable for semiconductor devices fabricated in a standard CMOS-process in the same way as for SiGe-process fabricated devices.
