Embedded passives account for a very large part of today's electronic assemblies. This is particularly true for products such as cellular phones, camcorders, computers and several critical defense devices. Market pressures for new products with more features, smaller size and lower cost demand smaller, compact, simpler substrates. An obvious strategy is to reduce the number of surface mounted passives by embedding them in the substrate. In addition, current interconnect technology to accommodate surface mounted passives imposes certain limits on board design which constrain the overall system speed. Embedding passives is one way to minimize the functional footprint while at the same time improving performance.
This paper discusses thin film technology based on resin coated copper capacitive (RC3) nanocomposites. In particular, we highlight recent developments on high capacitance, large area, thin film passives and their integration in System in a Package (SiP).
