Abstract
A decoupling apparatus for a microcircuit provides for a custom capacitor to be placed directly on the passivated upper surface of the integrated circuit or alternatively to be placed directly under the integrated circuit. In another alternative, multiple standard chip capacitors are placed directly on the passivated upper surface and connected by wire bonds to metal bars also resting on the upper surface.
