Wow,
I would sure like to learn how could an external capacitor on a PCB can be
effective on reducing SSO noise on a highspeed system. Especially if it is
placed underneath the package on a PCB and have to go through the PCB via,
pad, package via inductance. Could you please educate me ?

Fabrizio,

Yes this has been done in extreme cases whereby the analysis of the
drivers/receivers, package stackup, routing, power distribution and proper
noise immunity failed in the initial design of an ASIC. Or in some cases was
not performed at all.  The offset is enough to allow an 0603 with acceptable
results.  However reworkability and process errors can wreak havoc on your
DPM's once the product goes out to market.
