Abstract:
A semiconductor package for a side by side die configuration may include a substrate having a cavity, a bridge interposer positioned within the cavity and having an active side facing active sides of a first die and a second die and partially horizontally overlapping the first die and the second die to provide an interconnection between the first die and the second die, and a thermal element attached to backsides of the first die and the second die to provide a heat path and heat storage for the first die and the second die.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for controlling an equivalent-series resistance (ESR) of a capacitor are provided. An exemplary apparatus includes a substrate having a land side, the capacitor mounted on the land side of the substrate and having both the ESR and terminals, a resistive pattern coupled to the terminals, and a plurality of vias coupled to the resistive pattern. The resistive pattern is configured to control the ESR. The resistive pattern can be formed of a resistive paste. The resistive pattern can be formed in a substantially semicircular shape having an arc ranging from substantially 45 degrees to substantially 135 degrees. The capacitor can be a surface mount device. The resistive pattern can be formed in a shape of a land-side capacitor mounting pad, a via, or both.
