LIU, Regarding the 'gap', yes, if you have series resonances further away with non-matched ESR values, the antiresonance peak gets bigger. You can this gap on either side of a capacitor's series resonance. At high frequencies, the die-package resonance is usually one order of magnitude, sometimes up to two order of magnitudes higher than the series resonance of the bypass capacitors and therefore the penalty saturates and will not depend on the gap. On the lower- frequency side having a larger capacitance value actually helps to shrink this kind of gap.
