A system in package includes a memory-die stack in memory module that is stacked vertically with respect to a processor die. Each memory die in the memory-die stack includes a vertical bond wire that emerges from a matrix for connection. Some configurations include the vertical bond wire emerging orthogonally beginning from a bond-wire pad. The matrix encloses the memory-die stack, the spacer, and at least a portion of the processor die.

Embodiments described herein provide techniques of forming an interconnect structure using lithographic and deposition processes. The interconnect structure can be used to couple components of a semiconductor package. For one example, a semiconductor package includes a die stack and an interconnect structure formed on the die stack. The die stack comprises a plurality of dies. Each die in the die stack comprises: a first surface; a second surface opposite the first surface; sidewall surfaces coupling the first surface to the second surface; and a pad on the first surface. A one sidewall surface of one of the dies has a sloped profile. The semiconductor package also includes an interconnect structure positioned on the first surfaces and the sidewall with the sloped profile. In this semiconductor package, the interconnect structure electrically couples the pad on each of the dies to each other.
Abstract:
Stacked die semiconductor packages may include a spacer die disposed between stacked dies in the semiconductor package and the semiconductor package substrate. The spacer die translates thermally induced stresses on the solder connections between the substrate and an underlying member, such as a printed circuit board, from electrical structures communicably or conductively coupling the semiconductor package substrate to the underlying structure to mechanical structures that physically couple the semiconductor package to the underlying structure. The footprint area of the spacer die is greater than the sum of the footprint areas of the individual stacked dies in the semiconductor package and less than or equal to the footprint area of the semiconductor package substrate. The spacer die may have nay physical configuration, thickness, shape, or geometry. The spacer die may have a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of the lowermost semiconductor die in the die stack.

In one example, an electronic device includes a plurality of dies (104) stacked on a substrate (102) and a reference die (106) on the plurality of dies and having a fiducial marker (108) that indicates a spatial position of the plurality of dies for alignment of an electronics assembly tool (110).

The etched dielectric layer comprises at least one redistribution layer (116) electrically coupled to the vertical wire interconnect structure (112) to provide an ultra-thin package. A method of aligning an electronics assembly tool is disclosed.
