Abstract:
In a multi-module integrated circuit package having a package substrate and package contacts, a die is embedded in the package substrate with thermal vias that couple hotspots on the embedded die to some of the package contacts.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit package includes a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device embedded in a packaging substrate. The MEMS device is located on a die embedded in the packaging substrate and covered by a hermetic seal. Low-stress material in the packaging substrate surrounds the MEMS device. Additionally, interconnects may be used as standoffs to reduce stress on the MEMS device. The MEMS device is embedded a distance into the packaging substrate leaving for example, 30-80 microns, between the hermetic seal of the MEMS device and the support surface of the packaging substrate. Embedding the MEMS device results in lower stress on the MEMS device.
Abstract:
A semiconductor package has a capacitor die and a packaging substrate. The capacitor die is coupled to circuitry on a front or back side of a die coupled to the packaging substrate for providing decoupling capacitance. In one example, the capacitor die is coupled to a land side of the packaging substrate in an area depopulated of a packaging array and adjacent to the packaging array. In another example, the capacitor die may be stacked on the die and coupled through wire bonds to circuitry on the die. The capacitor die reduces impedance of the integrated circuit allowing operation at higher frequencies.
