An augmented capacitor structure includes a substrate and a first capacitor plate of a first conductive layer on the substrate. The augmented capacitor structure also includes an insulator layer on a surface of the first capacitor plate facing away from the substrate and a second capacitor plate. The second capacitor plate includes a second conductive layer on the insulator layer, supported by the first capacitor plate as a first capacitor. A second capacitor electrically is coupled in series with the first capacitor. The first capacitor plate is shared by the first capacitor and the second capacitor as a shared first capacitor plate. An extended first capacitor plate includes a first dummy portion of a third conductive layer and a first dummy via bar extending along the surface of the shared first capacitor plate. The first dummy portion extends along and is supported by the first dummy via bar.

Abstract:
Some novel features pertain to an integrated device package (e.g., die package) that includes a package substrate, a die, an encapsulation layer and a first set of metal layers. The package substrate includes a first surface and a second surface. The die is coupled to the first surface of the package substrate. The encapsulation layer encapsulates the die. The first set of metal layers is coupled to a first exterior surface of the encapsulation layer. In some implementations, the first set of metal layers is configured to operate as a die-to-wire connector of the integrated device package. In some implementations, the integrated device package includes a second set of metal layers coupled to the second surface of the package substrate. In some implementations, the integrated device package includes a second set of metal layers coupled to a second exterior surface of the encapsulation layer.
