  • Patent number: 11756948
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to a thin film capacitor (TFC) for power delivery that is in situ in a package substrate and techniques of fabricating the TFC. In one example, the TFC includes a first electrode, a dielectric layer over the first electrode, and a second electrode over the dielectric layer. Each of the dielectric layer and the second electrode comprises an opening. Furthermore, the two openings are positioned over one another such that the openings expose a surface of the first electrode. In this example, a first vertical interconnect access (via) is positioned on the exposed surface of the first electrode and a second via is positioned on an exposed surface of the second electrode. The TFC can be positioned in or on a layer of the package substrate close to a component (e.g., a die, a die stack, etc.) on the package substrate that may require a decoupling capacitance.

  • Publication number: 20200126921
    Abstract: Electronics package device technology is disclosed. In one example, an electronics package device (202) comprises substrate (206) supporting an electronics component (208) and an interconnect via (216a-c) electrically coupled to the electronics component such that at least a portion of the electronics component is disposed between the interconnect via and the substrate. The interconnect via can be directly coupled to the electronics component such that the interconnect via and the electronics component are vertically disposed between a second electronics package device (204) and the substrate. A second electronics package device can be stacked to the first electronics package device, and can comprise similar architecture of the interconnect via attached to the electronics component as with the first electronics package. Thus, 3D package size is significantly reduced. Associated systems and processes are disclosed.
