Abstract: An impedance matching network is integrated on a first die and coupled to a second die, with the first and second dies mounted on a conductive back plate. The impedance matching network comprises a first inductor bridging between the first and second dies, a second inductor coupled to the first inductor and disposed on the first die, and a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor disposed on the first die. The MIM capacitor has a first metal layer coupled to the second inductor, and a second metal layer grounded to the conductive back plate. A method for manufacturing the integrated impedance matching network comprises the steps of forming an inductor on a die, forming a capacitor on the die, coupling the capacitor to the inductor, coupling the die bottom surface and the capacitor to a conductive plate, and coupling the inductor to another inductor that bridges between the die and another die.

Abstract: A method of making a semiconductor device includes the steps of: providing a semiconductor substrate (110, 510, 1010, 1610) having a patterned interconnect layer (120, 520, 1020, 1620) formed thereon; depositing a first dielectric material (130, 530, 1030, 1630) over the interconnect layer; depositing a first electrode material (140, 540, 1040, 1640) over the first dielectric material; depositing a second dielectric material (150, 550, 1050, 1650) over the first electrode material; depositing a second electrode material (160, 560, 1060, 1660) over the second dielectric material; patterning the second electrode material to form a top electrode (211, 611, 1111, 1611) of a first capacitor (210, 710, 1310, 1615); and patterning the first electrode material to form a top electrode (221, 721, 1221, 1621) of a second capacitor (220, 720, 1320, 1625), to form an electrode (212, 712, 1212, 1612) of the first capacitor, and to define a resistor (230, 730, 1330).
