Abstract:
A process of forming a thin-film capacitor that includes sol-gel patterning of a dielectric thin film on a first electrode, lift-off removal of unwanted dielectric thin film, and mating the dielectric thin film with a second electrode. The thin-film capacitor exhibits a substantially uniform heat-altered morphology along a line defined by a characteristic dimension thereof. A computing system is also disclosed that includes the thin-film capacitor.
Abstract:
Some embodiments of the invention include thin film capacitors formed on a package substrate of an integrated circuit package. At least one of the film capacitors includes a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, and a dielectric layer between the first and second electrode layers. Each of the first and second electrode layers and the dielectric layer is formed individually and directly on the package substrate. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
