Abstract:
A semiconductor apparatus includes a semiconductor die having a surface with an integrated circuit thereon coupled to contact pads of an uppermost metallization layer of a semiconductor package substrate by a plurality of conductive contacts. A plurality of discrete metal planes is disposed at the uppermost metallization layer of the semiconductor package substrate, each metal plane located, from a plan view perspective, at a corner of a perimeter of the semiconductor die. Microstrip routing is disposed at the uppermost metallization layer of the semiconductor package substrate, from the plan view perspective, outside of the perimeter of the semiconductor die.
Abstract:
Semiconductor packages with embedded bridge interconnects, and related assemblies and methods, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a semiconductor package may have a first side and a second side, and may include a bridge interconnect, embedded in a build-up material, having a first side with a plurality of conductive pads. The semiconductor package may also include a via having a first end that is narrower than a second end. The bridge interconnect and via may be arranged so that the first side of the semiconductor package is closer to the first side of the bridge interconnect than to the second side of the bridge interconnect, and so that the first side of the semiconductor package is closer to the first end of the via than to the second end of the via. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract:
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.
