Abstract:
Semiconductor packages having a die electrically connected to an antenna by a coaxial interconnect are described. In an example, a semiconductor package includes a molded layer between a first antenna patch and a second antenna patch of the antenna. The first patch may be electrically connected to the coaxial interconnect, and the second patch may be mounted on the molded layer. The molded layer may be formed from a molding compound, and may have a stiffness to resist warpage during fabrication and use of the semiconductor package.
Abstract:
Methods/structures of forming package structures are described. Those methods/structures may include forming a first conductive trace adjacent a second conductive trace on a dielectric material of a high density package substrate. A barrier layer is formed on at least one of the first conductive trace or the second conductive trace, wherein the barrier layer comprises a corrosion resistant material, and forming a conductive via on a portion of the barrier layer.
Abstract:
A foundation layer and methods of forming a conductive via are described. A die pad is formed over a die. A seed layer is deposited over the die pad and the foundation layer. A first photoresist layer is deposited over the seed layer, and the first layer is patterned to form a conductive line opening over the die pad. A conductive material is deposited into the conductive line opening to form a conductive line. A second photoresist layer is deposited over the first layer, and the second layer is patterned to form a via opening over the conductive line. The conductive material is deposited into the via opening to form the conductive via, where the conductive material only deposits on portions of exposed conductive line. The second and first layers are removed. Portions of exposed seed layer are recessed, and then a top surface of the conductive via is exposed.

Abstract:
Embodiments described herein may be related to apparatuses, processes, and techniques directed to bridges having a glass core, where the bridges may include one or more thick traces and one or more thin traces, where the thin traces are layered closer to a surface of the glass core, and the thick traces are layered further away from the glass core. During operation, the thin traces may be used to transmit signals between the coupled dies, and the thick traces may be used to transmit power between the coupled dies. During manufacture, the rigidity and highly planner surface of the glass core may enable thinner traces closer to the surface of the glass core to be placed with greater precision resulting in increased overall quality and robustness of transmitted signals. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
