A capacitor assembly (82) is formed on a substrate (20). The capacitor assembly a first conductive plate (38) and a second conductive plate (60) formed over the substrate such that the second conductive plate is separated from the first conductive plate by a distance. A conductive trace (40) is formed over the substrate that is connected to the first conductive plate and extends away from the capacitor assembly. A conductive shield (62) is formed over at least a portion of the conductive trace that is separated from the first and second conductive plates to control a fringe capacitance between the second conductive plate and the conductive trace.
