ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit includes many metallization levels. A thick dielectric region is placed above at least two metallization levels and laterally neighboring two or more metallization levels. That part of the two metallization levels which lie beneath the dielectric region forms a screen. A conducting strip is placed on the dielectric region so that the dielectric region forms a waveguide.
