Abstract:
A two-stage power delivery network includes a voltage regulator and an interposer. The interposer includes a packaging substrate having an embedded inductor. The embedded inductor includes a set of traces and a set of through substrate vias at opposing ends of the traces. The interposer is coupled to the voltage regulator. The two-stage power delivery network also includes a semiconductor die supported by the packaging substrate. The two-stage power delivery network also includes a capacitor that is supported by the packaging substrate. The capacitor is operable to provide a decoupling capacitance associated with the semiconductor die and a capacitance to reduce a switching noise of the voltage regulator.

Abstract:
An electronic device includes a structure. The structure includes a first set of through glass vias (TGVs) and a second set of TGVs. The first set of TGVs includes a first via and the second set of TGVs includes a second via. The first via has a different cross-sectional shape than the second via.
Abstract:
In a particular embodiment, a device includes a substrate, a via that extends at least partially through the substrate, and a capacitor. A dielectric of the capacitor is located between the via and a plate of the capacitor, and the plate of the capacitor is external to the substrate and within the device.
Abstract:
One feature pertains to a multi-layer package substrate of an integrated circuit package that comprises a discrete circuit component (DCC) having at least one electrode. The DCC is embedded within an insulator layer, and a via coupling component electrically couples to the electrode. A first portion of the via coupling component extends beyond a first edge of the electrode, and a plurality of vias each having a first end couple to the first via coupling component. At least a first via of the plurality of vias couples to the first portion of the via coupling component that extends beyond the first edge of the electrode. Moreover, the plurality of vias each have a second end that electrically couple to a first outer metal layer, and at least a second portion of the via coupling component is positioned within a first inner metal layer.
Abstract:
Some novel features pertain to a capacitor structure that includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer and a non-conductive layer. The first conductive layer has a first overlapping portion and a second overlapping portion. The second conductive layer has a third overlapping portion, a fourth overlapping portion, and a non-overlapping portion. The third overlapping portion overlaps with the first overlapping portion of the first conductive layer. The fourth overlapping portion overlaps with the second overlapping portion of the first conductive layer. The non-overlapping portion is free of any overlap (e.g., vertical overlap) with the first conductive layer. The non-conductive layer separates the first and second conductive layers. The non-conductive layer electrically insulates the third overlapping portion and the fourth overlapping portion from the first conductive layer.
