Patent ID: 7605458

Claim:
An assembly, comprising: a carrier substrate; a plurality of integrated circuit dice vertically stacked on the carrier substrate; and at least one metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor disposed between a first integrated circuit die and a second integrated circuit die of the plurality of integrated circuit dice; wherein the MIM capacitor includes a first capacitive plate coupled to a first through die via (TDV) that extends to a contact at a surface of the first die on which the first capacitive plate is formed; wherein the MIM capacitor includes a second capacitive plate coupled to a second TDV that extends to a contact at a surface of the second die on which the second capacitive plate is formed; and wherein the first capacitive plate is located on the face of the first integrated circuit die and the second capacitive plate is located on the backside of the second integrated circuit die, and the respective first and second dies are electrically connected through at least one of the contacts.
