    Abstract: A microelectronic assembly is provided comprising a first integrated circuit (IC) die having an electrical load circuit, a second IC die having a portion of a voltage regulator (VR), and a third IC die comprising inductors of the VR. The third IC die is between the first IC die and the second IC die, and the VR receives power at a first voltage and provides power at a second voltage to the electrical load circuit, the second voltage being lower than the first voltage. In various embodiments, the inductors in the third IC die comprise magnetic thin films. The third IC die may be a passive die without any active elements in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the microelectronic assembly further comprises a package substrate having conductive pathways, and the second IC die is between the third IC die and the package substrate.

    Abstract: A microelectronics package comprises a substrate that comprises a dielectric and at least two conductor layers within the dielectric, and an inductor structure having a magnetic core at least partially within the dielectric and extending at least between a first conductor layer and a second conductor layer. The inductor structure comprises at least one conductor that extends horizontally at least partially within the magnetic core. The conductor extends in the z-direction within the magnetic core between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer. One or more vias extend within the dielectric adjacent to the magnetic core between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer. The conductor of the inductor has a length extending through the magnetic core that is greater than a width of the conductor.

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for mitigating damage to voltage regulator (VR) circuitry of a packaged device. In an embodiment, the VR circuitry comprises a circuit leg between a first node and a second node. During a burn-in process, the VR circuitry provides a regulated output voltage to a load circuit via the first node, wherein the output voltage is based on a supply voltage received via the second node. While the VR circuitry provides the regulated output voltage to the load circuit, a supply current is provided to the load circuit via a path which is independent of any leg which is between the first node and the second node. In another embodiment, an integrated circuit (IC) chip of the packaged device comprises the load circuit, and the leg further comprises an off-chip coil structure which is distinct from the IC chip.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a base die apparatus includes a conformal power delivery structure comprising a first electrically conductive layer defining one or more recesses, and a second electrically conductive layer at least partially within the recesses of the first electrically conductive layer and having a lower surface that generally conforms with the upper surface of the first electrically conductive layer. The conformal power delivery structure also includes a dielectric material between the surfaces of the first electrically conductive layer and the second electrically conductive layer that conform with one another. The conformal power delivery structure may be connected to connection pads of the base die apparatus, e.g., to provide power delivery to integrated circuit (IC) chips connected to the base die apparatus. The base die apparatus also includes bridge circuitry to connect IC chips with one another.
