Abstract: Embodiments herein describe providing a decoupling capacitor on a first wafer (or substrate) that is then bonded to a second wafer to form an integrated decoupling capacitor. Using wafer bonding means that the decoupling capacitor can be added to the second wafer without having to take up space in the second wafer. In one embodiment, after bonding the first and second wafers, one or more vias are formed through the second wafer to establish an electrical connection between the decoupling capacitor and bond pads on a first surface of the second wafer. An electrical IC can then be flip chipped bonded to the first surface. As part of coupling the decoupling capacitor to the electrical IC, the decoupling capacitor is connected between the rails of a power source (e.g., VDD and VSS) that provides power to the electrical IC.

Abstract: The fault detection system described provides an efficient method to test and monitor component to component connectivity in an electronic package using on chip test circuits and on chip components, which reduces the need for external testing equipment and analysis. The on chip nature allows for both real time testing in the assembly process of the electronic packages and during use of the electronic package by determining an on chip reference measurement and using the reference measurement to determine an operational status of the package.
