    Abstract: A device includes a main capacitor composed of a first plate of a first back-end-of-line (BEOL) metallization layer, a main insulator layer on the first plate, and a second plate on the main insulator layer. The second plate is composed of a second BEOL metallization layer. The device includes a first tuning capacitor of a first portion of a first BEOL interconnect trace coupled to the first plate of the main capacitor through first BEOL sideline traces. The first tuning capacitor is composed of a first insulator layer on a surface and sidewalls of the first portion of the first BEOL interconnect trace. The first tuning capacitor includes a second BEOL interconnect trace on a surface and sidewalls of the first insulator layer. The device includes a first via capture pad coupled to the second BEOL interconnect trace of the first tuning capacitor.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to an electronic device having an inductive element made up of a plurality of metal layers including a metal shielding layer with one or more electrically floating metal pieces. One example electronic device has a plurality of metal layers that generally includes a bottom metal layer, one or more middle metal layers disposed above the bottom metal layer, wherein at least one of the middle layers comprises a coil, and a top metal layer disposed above the one or more middle metal layers. At least one of the bottom metal layer or the top metal layer comprises a shield layer. At least a first portion of a first region of the shield layer overlying or underlying the coil comprises one or more metal pieces that are electrically floating and are disconnected from the shield layer.
