Design, Modeling and Characterization of Embedded Capacitors for Decoupling Applications

Surface Mount Discrete SMD decoupling capacitors fail to provide decoupling above 100MHz. This paper presents the use of embedded thin film capacitors to provide decoupling in the mid frequency range from 100MHz to 2GHz. On-chip capacitance provides decoupling above 2GHz. The effect of chip, package and board capacitors on the...
