Abstract

Embedded passives are gaining in importance due to the reduction in size of consumer electronic products. Among the passives, capacitors pose the biggest challenge due to the large capacitance required for decoupling high performance circuits. This paper focuses on the characterization and modeling of embedded capacitors. Design and modeling of embedded capacitor networks for decoupling semiconductor systems in the mid-frequency band (100 MHz to 2 GHz) will be highlighted in this paper
