The method involves plasma cleaning the package substrate and the capacitors to remove organic contaminants. The method then involves applying a thermoset plastic to encase the capacitors on the package substrate. In one embodiment, a heated metal mold is utilized and the thermoset plastic is placed therein. The method includes opening the metal mold and curing the molded thermoset plastic by baking the molded thermoset plastic at an elevated temperature.
