Abstract:
A semiconductor package, e.g., wafer, chip, interposer, etc., includes a multi terminal capacitor within an input output (IO) path. The multi terminal capacitor is electrically attached directly upon a first IO contact of the semiconductor package. There is no inductance between the multi terminal capacitor and a interconnect that electrically connects the first IO contact with a second IO contact of a second semiconductor package and no inductance between the multi terminal capacitor and the first IO contact. The multi terminal capacitor may serve as a power source to cycle the turning on and off of the various circuits within a semiconductor chip associated with the semiconductor package. Because the distance between the multi terminal capacitor and semiconductor chip is reduced, inductance within the system is resultantly reduced. The multi terminal capacitor may be a decoupling capacitor that decouples one part of semiconductor chip from another part of semiconductor chip.
