New types, structures, and arrangements of capacitor networks for harmonic control and other purposes are described. An example capacitor network includes a bond pad and metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors positioned over the top side of the substrate and along different sides of the bond pad. A first metal layer of each of the plurality of MIM capacitors is electrically coupled to the bond pad. A second metal layer of each of the plurality of MIM capacitors is electrically coupled to a ground plane on a bottom side of the substrate by a through-substrate via. The MIM capacitors can be arranged around the bond pad in the capacitor network for a tailored capacitance. A matching network in the integrated device can incorporate the capacitor network to reduce loss, provide better harmonic termination, and achieve better phase alignment for the power devices.
