Abstract: A semiconductor package has a capacitor die and a packaging substrate. The capacitor die is coupled to circuitry on a front or back side of a die coupled to the packaging substrate for providing decoupling capacitance. In one example, the capacitor die is coupled to a land side of the packaging substrate in an area depopulated of a packaging array and adjacent to the packaging array. In another example, the capacitor die may be stacked on the die and coupled through wire bonds to circuitry on the die. The capacitor die reduces impedance of the integrated circuit allowing operation at higher frequencies.
