ABSTRACT:
A monolithically integratable circuit arrangement is provided, which has at least one inductor, formed as a conductor loop, and at least one capacitor, connected to the conductor loop. According to the invention, the circuit arrangement comprises (a) at least one first conductor loop placed in at least one first metallization level and having a first DC terminal for applying a first DC potential, (b) at least one second conductor loop placed in at least one second metallization level and having a second DC terminal for applying a second DC potential, (c) at least one metal-isolator-metal capacitor with a capacitor plate, which is placed in a third metallization level between the first and second metallization level, and (d) at least one metallic connecting means placed between the capacitor plate and the first conductor loop, said means which connects the capacitor plate in an electrically conducting manner to the first conductor loop. The invention relates furthermore to an integrated circuit having a circuit arrangement of this type.
