Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) package that is to be incorporated into a computing device may include a metallization structure with circuits and/or other elements such as capacitors or inductors thereon. Pads for input/output (I/O) (or other) purposes may also be present at different locations on the metallization structure. Exemplary aspects of the present disclosure allow mold material to be placed over the circuits and/or other elements in readily-customizable configurations so as to allow placement of the I/O pads in any desired location on the metallization structure. Specifically, before the mold material is applied to the metallization structure, a mask material such as tape may be applied to portions of the metallization structure that contain I/O pads or otherwise have reasons to not have mold material thereon. The mold material is applied, and the mask material is removed, taking unwanted mold material with the mask material.

The second interconnect includes a third side and a fourth side, where the third side is coupled to the first surface of the first dielectric layer.
