Abstract
A low cost method for mechanically and electrically coupling a surface mounted capacitor to a semiconductor package. In one embodiment a metal coating is deposited over the electrodes of a capacitor. Concurrently, or at some other time, solder paste is applied to the electrical contact pads of a semiconductor package. The connection between the capacitor and package is made by positioning the metal coated regions of the capacitor over the electrical contact pads of the package and running the unit through a reflow furnace where the solder paste is wetted onto the metal coating of the capacitor and onto the electrical contact pads of the package.
