Decoupling Capacitor with Controlled Equivalent Series Resistance

摘要

Decoupling capacitors and methods of manufacturing the same are provided. In one aspect, a method of manufacturing is provided that includes providing a semiconductor chip and providing a capacitor stack for the semiconductor chip. The capacitor stack includes a first group of terminations and a second group of terminations. A first group of electrodes is included that have terminals coupled to the first group of terminations and a second group of electrodes is included that have terminals coupled to the second group of terminations. At least one electrode of the first group of electrodes has at least one less terminal than the number of terminations in the first group of terminations in order to provide the capacitor stack with a known equivalent series resistance. The capacitor stack is electrically coupled to the semiconductor chip.
