    摘要: A base structure is formed from a green material having first and second opposing sides and having a plurality of via openings therein. The green material is then sintered so that the green material becomes a sintered ceramic material and the base structure becomes a sintered ceramic base structure having the via openings. A conductive via is formed in each via opening of the sintered ceramic base structure. First and second capacitor structures are formed on the sintered ceramic base structure, each on a respective side of the sintered ceramic base structure. The power and ground planes of the capacitor structure are connected to the vias. As such, a capacitor structure can be formed and connected to the vias without the need to drill via openings in brittle substrates such as silicon substrates. Capacitor structures on opposing sides provide more capacitance without manufacturing complexities associated with the manufacture of one capacitor structure having a large number of power and ground planes.

    摘要: An apparatus, and a method for forming, a split thin film capacitor for providing multiple power and reference supply voltage levels to electrical devices such as integrated circuits, may be useful in space restricted applications, and in applications that require very close electrical connections between the power consumer and the power supply. An example of both a space restricted application and a close coupling application may be an integrated circuit (IC) such as a microprocessor. The capacitor supplying and moderating power to the microprocessor needs to be closely coupled in order to respond to instantaneous power demands that may be found in high clock rate microprocessors, and the space inside a microprocessor package is very restricted. The microprocessor may use a lower voltage power supply level for minimum sized fast transistors in the fast core logic portions of the microprocessor, and a more normal voltage power supply voltage level for the cache memory and I/O transistor portions of the microprocessor. Thus a compact capacitor with multiple power and reference supply levels may be needed to provide the required power for a high frequency IC.
