You are unfortunately in an information vacuum created by your supplier. They themselves may be in an information vacuum. The more that they tell you to just do something without providing supporting data, the more you should be concerned. I would evaluate the back-side capacitor problem by determining or at least estimating the inductance in the Z axis interconnects and working from there. Steve.
