Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a memory device package includes an integrated circuit die having a memory array and at least one passive component mounted to a substrate. In alternative embodiments, an array of solder balls may be mounted around the passive component.
Abstract:
An electronic package (302, Figure 3) includes one or more capacitors (308) embedded within one or more layers (310) of the package. The embedded capacitors are discrete devices, such as integrated circuit capacitors (Figures 17-18) or ceramic capacitors. During the package build-up process, the capacitors are mounted (410, Figure 4) to a package layer, and a non-conductive layer is applied (412) over the capacitors. When the build-up process is completed, the capacitor's terminals (604, 608, Figure 6) are electrically connected to the top surface of the package. The embedded capacitor structure can be used in an integrated circuit package (1904, Figure 19), an interposer (1906), and/or a printed circuit board (1908).

Abstract:
AN ELECTRONIC PACKAGE (302, FIGURE 3) INCLUDES ONE OR MORE CAPACITORS (308) EMBEDDED WITHIN ONE OR MORE LAYERS (310) OF THE PACKAGE. THE EMBEDDED CAPACITORS ARE DISCRETE DEVICES, SUCH AS INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CAPACITORS (FIGURE 17-18) OR CERAMIC CAPACITORS. DURING THE PACKAGE BUILD-UP PROCESS, THE CAPACITORS ARE MOUNTED (410, FIGURE 4) TO A PACKAGE LAYER, AND A NON-CONDUCTIVE LAYER IS APPLIED (412) OVER THE CAPACITORS. WHEN THE BUILD-UP PROCESS IS COMPLETED , THE CAPACITOR'S TERMINALS (604,608, FIGURE 6) ARE ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO THE TOP SURFACE OF THE PACKAGE. THE EMBEDDED CAPACITOR STRUCTURE CAN BE USED IN AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT PACKAGE (1904, FIGURE 19), AN INTERPOSER (1906), AND /OR A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (1908).(FIG 10)
Abstract:
Adhesive material is applied to a surface of a metallic core layer. The adhesive material is removed from a conductive region of the metallic core layer. A metallic contact is provided over the conductive region of the metallic core layer. The metallic core layer is laminated to an imprinted buildup layer, the buildup layer having a dielectric region and a conductive region, wherein a nonconductive region of the metallic core layer is bonded to the dielectric region of the buildup layer and the conductive region of the metallic core layer is bonded to the conductive region of the imprinted-buildup layer.
Abstract:
A CAPACITOR (FIGS. 6-9) INCLUDES ONE OR MORE EXTENDED SURFACE LANDS (604, 704, 804, 904, FIGS. 6-9). IN ONE EMBODIMENT, EACH EXTENDED SURFACE LAND IS A LAND ON A TOP OR BOTTOM SURFACE OF THE CAPACITOR HAVING A LAND LENGTH THAT IS EQUAL TO AT LEAST 30% OF THE WIDTH (614, FIG. 6) OF THE CAPACITOR OR 20% OF THE LENGTH (914, FIG. 9) OF THE CAPACITOR. WHEN EMBEDDED WITHIN AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT PACKAGE (1102, FIG 11.), TWO OR MORE VIAS (1112) CAN BE ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO THE EXTENDED SURFACE LANDS (1108).(FIGURE 6)
