What is the difference between IPD and MOSCap

[FatihahYusof]

Hi Everyone,

Can someone explain to me what is the difference between MOSCap and IPD (integrated passive device).
seriously need your help to understand better.

Hi,

I found an old thread here.
For the MOSCap

Sorry that I couldn't help you with the IPD's (only found something on wikipedia but I think you already read that)

IPD seems to imply a postprocessing after the "normal"
top metal layer, and may be done at a different line
than the transistors & interconnect.

There are passive devices (MOS or MIM caps, resistors,
etc.) that -are- integrated during the main flow, of
course. The distinction for IPD is that it happens as
an add-on, at least the flavors I've seen. They may
be higher-Q than a MOSCAP or an inductor with mucho
substrate coupling, this seems to be the primary value-
add.
