Abstract

A capacitor includes a controlled collapse chip connection system coupled by vias to a plurality of conductive layers embedded in a dielectric. The capacitor and a die can each be mounted on opposite surfaces of a substrate using a controlled collapse chip connection. The controlled collapse chip connection provides a large number of leads for coupling to the conductive layers of the capacitor. The large number of leads reduce the inductance in the connection. For a thin substrate, the length of the conductive material connecting the capacitor to the die is short, and the inductance and resistance of the conductive material is low. A system comprising two dies can be fabricated in a small volume using a plurality of substrates and a single controlled collapse chip connection compatible capacitor for decoupling the two dies.
