Abstract:
A socket may be formed with socket pins that include two spring biased arms biased to extend away from one another. The arms may be provided with tapered upper surfaces that engage contact holes on a pin guide 18 of an integrated circuit package, camming the socket pin arms together. The pin guide may have a tapered via structure that expands as it extends into the package. Thus, as the spring arms spread apart inside the pin guide, they may rotate through an angle which causes contacting surfaces on the spring arms and the pin guide to be parallel, creating good surface contact.
Abstract:
A method for making, and a dielectric material is provided. A capacitor is provided that includes a lossy dielectric layer that is also not leaky. The lossy behavior dampens unwanted oscillations in power supplies or other electrical systems. A capacitor is further provided is tunable for an amount of lossy behavior over a broad range. A core dopant concentration can be varied, and a doped core grain fraction can be varied to control the extent of a desired lossy property in a capacitor. Dielectric materials having grains with doped shells reduce leakiness. Additionally in selected embodiments, undoped core grains mixed with doped core grains reduce leakiness.
Abstract:
Methods of forming a microelectronic structure are described. Embodiments of those methods include forming a substrate core by attaching a first dielectric layer to a second conductive layer of a thin film capacitor, and attaching a second dielectric layer to a first conductive layer of the thin film capacitor.
Abstract:
A thin-film capacitor assembly includes two plates that are accessed through deep and shallow vias. The thin-film capacitor assembly is able to be coupled with a spacer and an interposer. The thin-film capacitor assembly is also able to be stacked with a plurality of thin-film capacitor assemblies. The thin-film capacitor assembly is also part of computing system.

Abstract:
A package for integrated circuits is described. The package has a package substrate with a land side and an opposite die side, a first set of low level signal connectors on the die side to connect to an IC to be carried by the package, and a second set of low level signal connectors on the die side to connect to external components. The package may have power connectors on the land side or a power supply attached to the land side. A heat spreader or cooler may be attached to the die side.
