Abstract

Some implementations provide a semiconductor device that includes a first substrate, a die coupled to the first substrate, and a set of solder balls coupled to the first substrate. The set of solder balls is configured to provide an electrical connection between the die and a second substrate. The semiconductor device also includes at least one decoupling capacitor coupled to the die through the first substrate. The at least one decoupling capacitor is configured to provide an electrical connection between the die and the second substrate. The at least one decoupling capacitor is coupled to the first substrate such that the at least one decoupling capacitor is positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate. In some implementations, the second substrate is a printed circuit board (PCB). In some implementations, the first substrate is a first package substrate, and the second substrate is a second package substrate.
