Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) device, e.g., wafer, chip, die, interposer, carrier, etc., includes a patterned mask that includes a first opening that exposes a signal region of a first contact. The mask further includes a second opening that exposes a signal region of a second contact that neighbors the first contact. The mask further includes a first capacitor tab opening that extends from the first opening toward the second contact and further exposes an extension region of the first contact. The mask further includes a second capacitor tab opening that extends from the second opening toward the first contact and further exposes an extension region of the second contact. A multi terminal capacitor may be connected to the IC device such that a first terminal is connected to the extension region of the first contact and a second terminal is connected to the extension region of the second contact.
