Abstract
Various methods and apparatus for coupling capacitors to a chip substrate are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of manufacturing is provided that includes forming a mask on a semiconductor chip substrate that has plural conductor pads. The mask has plural openings that expose selected portions of the plural conductor pads. Each of the plural openings has a footprint corresponding to a footprint of a smallest size terminal of a capacitor adapted to be coupled to the semiconductor chip substrate. A conductor material is placed in the plural openings to establish plural capacitor pads.
