High dielectric constant thin film embedded capacitor for suppression of simultaneous switching noise and radiated emission

Abstract

We have thoroughly investigated and experimentally demonstrated the great advantages of thin film embedded capacitors of high dielectric constant in reducing power/ground impedance and suppressing SSN and radiated emission up to a frequency of 1 GHz. About 10 dB or more suppression of the radiated emission was acquired for a wide frequency range, including high-numbered harmonics of the clock frequency, by using the thin film embedded capacitor of high dielectric constant.
