Abstract:
A plurality of electrically conductive material layers and a plurality of dielectric layers are alternately stacked on a second substrate. The plurality of electrically conductive material layers comprise first and second patterns. The first pattern comprises at least a first pair of overlaying areas free of the electrically conductive material, and the second pattern comprises at least a second pair of overlaying areas free of the electrically conductive material. The first pair of areas overlay areas of the second pattern having the electrically conductive material and the second pair of areas overlay areas of the first pattern having the electrically conductive material. The plurality of electrically conductive material layers are electrically isolated from one another by the dielectric layers.
Abstract:
A method of assembling a packaged semiconductor device starts by dropping a pre-formed capacitor precursor on a surface of or within a first substrate. An integrated circuit die is dropped on either of the first substrate. If the pre-formed capacitor precursor lacks at least a first pair of vias for providing an electrical contact between capacitor plates of said chip capacitor, then at least a first pair of vias is formed in said pre-formed capacitor precursor. The first pair of vias are filled with an electrically conductive material to form the chip capacitor, wherein said filling of said vias provides an electrical contact between said first and second capacitor plates of said chip capacitor and said electrically conductive contact regions on said first substrate. A plurality of electrically conductive material layers and a plurality of dielectric layers are alternately stacked on a second substrate. The plurality of electrically conductive material layers comprise first and second patterns. The first pattern comprises at least a first pair of overlaying areas free of said electrically conductive material, and said second pattern comprises at least a second pair of overlaying areas free of said electrically conductive material. The first pair of areas overlay areas of the second pattern having said electrically conductive material and the second pair of areas overlay areas of the first pattern having said electrically conductive material. The plurality of electrically conductive material layers are electrically isolated from one another by the dielectric layers.
