Abstract
An interposer circuit includes a substrate and a dielectric layer that is disposed on top of the substrate. The interposer circuit includes two or more connection layers including a first connection layer and a second connection layer that are disposed at different depths in the dielectric layer. The interposer circuit includes a fuse that is disposed in the first connection layer. The first connection layer is coupled to a first power node and the second connection layer is coupled to a first ground node. The interposer circuit further includes a first capacitor that is in series with the fuse and is connected between the first and the second connection layers. The interposer circuit also includes first, second, and third micro-bumps on top of the dielectric layer such that the fuse is coupled between the first and second micro-bumps and the first capacitor is coupled between the second and third micro-bumps.
