Abstract

Provided are semiconductor packages comprising at least one thin-film capacitor attached to a printed wiring board core through build-up layers, wherein a first electrode of the thin-film capacitor comprises a thin nickel foil, a second electrode of the thin-film capacitor comprises a copper electrode, and a copper layer is formed on the nickel foil. The interconnections between the thin-film capacitor and the semiconductor device provide a low inductance path to transfer charge to and from the semiconductor device. Also provided are methods for fabricating such semiconductor packages.
