Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A semiconductor package comprising an insulating substrate carrying an integrated circuit chip, the chip having a plurality of terminals, a plurality of contacts secured to said substrate, each having a connection to one of said terminals, a cover for said package, said cover including a bottom surface and a top surface, and a capacitor embedded in said cover and comprising at least two spaced-apart conductors, each of which is connected to a contact pad on the bottom surface of said cover, each contact pad being positioned to make electrical contact with one of said contacts on said substrate when said cover is in place over said substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
