Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for a programmable capacitor associated with an input/output pad in the semiconductor device. The apparatus includes a semiconductor die having an upper surface, a first capacitor deployed above the upper surface of the semiconductor die, a separation layer deployed above the first capacitor, and a bond pad deployed above the separation layer such that at least a portion of the bond pad lies above the first capacitor.
