A capacitive interposer (caposer) is disposed inside an integrated circuit
package between a die and an inside surface of the package. Conductive
layers within the caposer constitute a bypass capacitor. In a
through-hole caposer, micro-bumps on the die pass through through-holes
in the caposer and contact corresponding landing pads on the package. As
they pass through the caposer, power and ground micro-bumps make contact
with the plates of the bypass capacitor. In a via caposer, power and
ground micro-bumps on the die are coupled to power and ground landing
pads on the package as well as to the plates of the bypass capacitor by
power and ground vias that extend through the caposer. In signal
redistribution caposer, conductors within the caposer redistribute
signals between die micro-bumps and package landing pads. In an impedance
matching caposer, termination structures within the caposer provide
impedance matching to a printed circuit board trace.
