Abstract

An integrated circuit device includes a device substrate having first and second opposing surfaces, a first component electrode coupled to the first surface, and a conductive plane coupled to the second surface. The integrated circuit device also includes a plurality of through substrate vias electrically coupling a first region of the first component electrode to the conductive plane through the device substrate, wherein a second adjacent region of the first component electrode is substantially devoid of through substrate vias. Arrangement of the plurality of through substrate vias in the first region is based on a projected current distribution through the first component electrode when the integrated circuit device is operational.
