Package-integrated vertical capacitors and methods of assembling same

Abstract:

Disclosed embodiments include in-recess fabricated vertical capacitor cells, that can be assembled as close to the surface of a semiconductor package substrate as the first-level interconnect surface. The in-recess fabricated vertical capacitor cells are semiconductor package-integrated capacitors. Disclosed embodiments include laminated vertical capacitor cells where a plated through-hole is twice breached to form opposing capacitor plates. The breached, plated through-hole capacitors are semiconductor package-integrated capacitors.
