Flat decoupling capacitor and method of manufacture thereof

摘要

A flat decoupling capacitor having incorporated therein a multilayer chip capacitor which provides high capacitance values, local charge storage and noise decoupling for integrated circuits is presented. The decoupling capacitor essentially comprises at least two conductors electrically connected to a multilayer ceramic capacitor chip, all of which are encapsulated by an insulating material. Several embodiments are described having variations in chip dimensions, number of multilayer capacitors, number of conductors and particular structural configuration. A simplified embodiment and method of manufacture thereof is also presented.
