An electronic circuit package (400, FIG. 4) includes one or more trench vias (404, FIG. 4). Each trench via makes electrical contact with one or more terminals (526, FIG. 5) of a discrete device (520, FIG. 5) embedded within the package. A trench via can extend to a surface of the package, or one or more conventional vias (620, FIG. 6) formed within layers (602, FIG. 6) above or below the trench via can electrically connect the trench via, and thus the discrete device, to the surface of the package. The discrete device (520, FIG. 5) can be a capacitor, in one embodiment, providing decoupling capacitance to an integrated circuit load. Besides being implemented in a package, the trench vias also could be implemented in other types of electronic circuit housings (e.g., interposers, sockets, and printed circuit boards).
