Patent ID: 8593825

Claim:
An electronic device for connection to a target platform positioned substantially in a first plane, the electronic device comprising: a first surface substantially parallel to the first plane, the first surface including a first contact region; a second surface substantially parallel to the first plane, the second surface being below the first surface, the second surface including a second contact region; and a structure electrically connected between the first and second contact regions thereby forming a plurality of passive elements in parallel between the first and second surfaces when the second contact region of the electronic device is connected to the target platform, the structure being substantially perpendicular to the first plane, wherein the plurality of passive elements are formed in the electronic device, wherein a width of the first or second surface is less than or equal to a pitch of a contact pad array on the target platform when the electronic device is connected to the target platform, wherein the plurality of passive elements is selected from the group consisting of a resistor and a capacitor, a capacitor and a conduction path, an inductor and a capacitor, a ferrite bead and a capacitor, a diode and a capacitor, and an electro-optical device and a capacitor.
