Abstract:
A method of electrically connecting a passive electronic component to a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor device whereby the lead lengths between said passive electrical component, said substrate and said device are minimized, the method comprising the steps of:providing a layer of a semiconductor substrate;forming a first cavity in said layer, said first cavity having at least one electrical termination pad on a surface of said first cavity;placing a first passive electrical component in said first cavity, said first component having at least one electrical connection point on a surface of said first component, said first component being positioned in said first cavity such that the location of a first connection point on said first component corresponds to the location of a first termination pad of said first cavity;placing said semiconductor device over said first cavity and said first component such that an electrical termination pad on said semiconductor device corresponds to the location of a second connection point on said first component;electrically connecting said first component to said substrate and said semiconductor device.
