Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a first die; a second die attached over the first die; a first metal enclosure and a second metal enclosure both directly contacting and vertically extending between the first die and the second die, wherein the first metal enclosure peripherally encircles a set of one or more internal interconnects and the second metal enclosure peripherally encircles the first metal enclosure without directly contacting the first metal enclosure; a first enclosure connector electrically connecting the first metal enclosure to a first voltage level; a second enclosure connector electrically connecting the second metal enclosure to a second voltage level; and wherein the first metal enclosure, the second metal enclosure, the first enclosure connector, and the second enclosure connector are configured to provide an enclosure capacitance.
