Abstract

A capacitor (FIGS. 6-9) includes one or more extended surface lands (604, 704, 804, 904, FIGS. 6-9). In one embodiment, each extended surface land is a land on a top or bottom surface of the capacitor, having a land length that is equal to at least 30% of the width (614, FIG. 6) of the capacitor or 20% of the length (914, FIG. 9) of the capacitor. When embedded within an integrated circuit package (1102, FIG. 11), two or more vias (1112) can be electrically connected to the extended surface lands (1108).
