Abstract:
Some implementations provide a semiconductor device that includes a first substrate, a die coupled to the first substrate, and a set of solder balls coupled to the first substrate. The set of solder balls is configured to provide an electrical connection between the die and a second substrate. The semiconductor device also includes at least one decoupling capacitor coupled to the die through the first substrate. The at least one decoupling capacitor is configured to provide an electrical connection between the die and the second substrate. The at least one decoupling capacitor is coupled to the first substrate such that the at least one decoupling capacitor is positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate. In some implementations, the second substrate is a printed circuit board (PCB). In some implementations, the first substrate is a first package substrate, and the second substrate is a second package substrate.

Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a circuit board with ground vias offset from associated ground bumps. One example circuit board generally includes a first signal connection terminal configured to connect a signal line of the circuit board to an integrated circuit (IC); a ground plane having a first ground connection terminal disposed adjacent to the first signal connection terminal, the first ground connection terminal being configured to provide a ground connection between the ground plane and the IC; and a first ground via associated with and disposed adjacent to the first ground connection terminal and coupled to the ground plane, wherein, from an overhead view of the circuit board, the first ground via is located at a position that is offset from a first axis on which the first signal connection terminal and the first ground connection terminal are disposed.
