A precision high-frequency capacitor includes a dielectric layer formed on the front side surface of a semiconductor substrate and a first electrode on top of the dielectric layer. The semiconductor substrate is heavily doped and therefore has a low resistivity. A second electrode, insulated from the first electrode, is also formed over the front side surface. In one embodiment, the second electrode is connected by a metal-filled via to a layer of conductive material on the back side of the substrate. In alternative embodiments, the via is omitted and the second electrode is either in electrical contact with the substrate or is formed on top of the dielectric layer, yielding a pair of series-connected capacitors. ESD protection for the capacitor can be provided by a pair of oppositely-directed diodes formed in the substrate and connected in parallel with the capacitor. To increase the capacitance of the capacitor while maintaining a low effective series resistance, each of the electrodes may include a plurality of fingers, which are interdigitated with the fingers of the other electrode. The capacitor is preferably fabricated in a wafer-scale process concurrently with numerous other capacitors on the wafer, and the capacitors are then separated from each other by a conventional dicing technique.

An electronic component such as a capacitor includes a substrate having first and second principal surfaces, a dielectric layer overlaying the first principal surface of the substrate, a first electrode, and a second electrode. There is a passivation layer overlaying the first and second electrodes, a first opening being formed in the passivation layer over the first electrode and a second opening being formed in the passivation layer over the second electrode. A first bottom electrode termination is positioned in the first opening and a second bottom electrode termination is positioned in the second opening. The first bottom electrode termination is electrically connected to the first electrode and the second bottom electrode termination is electrically connected to the second electrode. A standoff is positioned between the first bottom electrode termination and the second bottom electrode termination and attached to the passivation layer to thereby provide support for the electronic component when mounted. The standoff provides resistance to tilting.

The present invention provides for higher reliability performance and enlarging the potential soldering area despite small chip size. A method of the present invention provides for manufacturing flip chip resistors by applying a first electrode layer to a substrate to create at least one pair of opposite electrodes, applying a resistance layer between each pair of opposite electrodes; applying a first protective layer at least partially overlaying the resistance layer, applying a second protective layer at least partially overlaying at least a portion of the resistance layer, and applying a second electrode layer overlaying the first electrode layer and at least a portion of the second protective layer.
摘要:
A semiconductor package by which contacts are made to both sides of the dice is manufactured on a wafer scale. The back side of the wafer is attached to a metal plate. The scribe lines separating the dice are saw cut to expose the metal plate but the cuts do not extend through the metal plate. A metal layer, which may include a number of sublayers, is formed on the front side of the dice, the metal covering the exposed portions of the metal plate and extending the side edges of the dice. Separate sections of the metal layer may also cover connection pads on the front side of the dice. A second set of saw cuts are made coincident with the first set of saw cuts, using a blade that is narrower than the blade used to make the first set of saw cuts. As a result, the metal layer remains on the side edges of the dice connecting the back and front sides of the dice (via the metal plate). Since no wire bonds are required, the resulting package is rugged and provides a low-resistance electrical connection between the back and front sides of the dice.
摘要:
An electrical resistor which is fabricated from traces of resistive material on a substrate of insulating material. The traces are interconnected electrically in series by first links and in parallel by second alternating links, which are connected to different terminals on the substrate. The second links are cut, preferably by laser trimming, so as to select the value of resistance of the resistor by reducing the number of traces connected in parallel and increasing the number of traces connected in series. Where the resistance of each trace is "R", the value of the resistance is adjustable by severing the second links from R/n to nR, where n is the number of traces.
