Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a plurality of redistribution layers, a dielectric layer, and a conductive structure. The redistribution layers are formed overlying a device die to provide an electrical connection between the device die and an external connector in a package. The dielectric layer is arranged between the redistribution layers to form a capacitor structure. The conductive structure is formed and coupled between the device die and the redistribution layers.
