Patent ID: 8199457

Claim:
A capacitor, comprising: a first signal wirebond pad and a second signal wirebond pad, the wirebond pads each configured for being connected to an electrical current source; a first backbone structure and a second backbone structure, the first backbone structure being connected to the first signal wirebond pad, the second backbone structure being connected to the second signal wirebond pad, the backbone structures being configured for receiving electrical current from the electrical current source via the wirebond pads, each backbone structure including a first backbone portion and a second backbone portion; a plurality of protrusions, said plurality of protrusions being connected to the backbone portions of the backbone structures, said protrusions being configured for distributing current received by the backbone structures and for promoting structural stability of the capacitor; and a ground wall structure, the ground wall structure configured for being connected to a ground current source, the ground wall structure further configured for receiving ground current from the ground current source.
