Abstract:
Embodiments include semiconductor packages and a method of forming the semiconductor packages. A semiconductor package includes a resist layer disposed on a conductive layer. The semiconductor package also has a bump disposed on the conductive layer. The bump has a top surface and one or more sidewalls. The semiconductor package further includes a surface finish disposed on the top surface and the one or more sidewalls of the bump. The semiconductor package may have the surface finish surround the top surface and sidewalls of the bumps to protect the bumps from Galvanic corrosion. The surface finish may include a nickel-palladium-gold (NiPdAu) surface finish. The semiconductor package may also have a seed disposed on a top surface of the resist layer, and a dielectric disposed on the seed. The dielectric may surround the sidewalls of the bump. The semiconductor package may include the seed to be an electroless copper seed.

Abstract:
Semiconductor packages having a first layer interconnect portion that includes a coaxial interconnect between a die and a package substrate are described. In an example, the package substrate includes a substrate-side coaxial interconnect electrically connected to a signal line. The die is mounted on the package substrate and includes a die-side coaxial interconnect coupled to the substrate-side coaxial interconnect. The coaxial interconnects can be joined by a solder bond between respective central conductors and shield conductors.

Package substrates enabling reduced bump pitches and package assemblies thereof. Surface-level metal features are embedded in a surface-level dielectric layer with surface finish protruding from a top surface of the surface-level dielectric for assembly, without solder resist, to an IC chip having soldered connection points. Package substrates are fabricated to enable multiple levels of trace routing with each trace routing level capable of reduced minimum trace width and spacing.

Abstract:
Techniques of protecting cored or coreless semiconductor packages having materials formed from dissimilar metals from galvanic corrosion are described. An exemplary semiconductor package comprises one or more build-up layers; first and second semiconductor components (e.g., die, EMIB, etc.) on or embedded in the one or more build-up layers. The first semiconductor component may be electrically coupled to the second semiconductor component via a contact pad and an interconnect structure that are formed in the one or more build-up layers. The contact pad can comprise a contact region, a non-contact region, and a gap region that separates the contact region from the non-contact region. Coupling of the contact pad and an interconnect structure is performed by coupling only the contact region with the interconnect structure. Also, a surface area of the contact region can be designed to substantially equal to a surface area of the interconnect structure.
