Abstract:
Embodiments describe a semiconductor package that includes a substrate, a die bonded to the substrate, and a solder paste overmold layer formed over a top surface of the die. In an embodiment, the solder paste comprises a high-melting point metal, a solder matrix, intermetallic compounds and a polymer. The overmold layer has a high elastic modulus, a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to the substrate, and reduces the warpage of the package. In an embodiment, interconnects of a semiconductor package are formed with a no-slump solder paste that includes vents. Vents may be formed through a conductive network formed by the high-melting point metal, solder matrix and intermetallic compounds. In an embodiment, vents provide a path through the interconnect that allows for moisture outgassing. In an embodiment, a mold layer may be mechanically anchored to the interconnects by the vents, thereby providing improved mechanical continuity to the mold layer.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards electro-magnetic interference (EMI) shielding techniques and configurations. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a first substrate, a die having interconnect structures coupled with the first substrate to route input/output (I/O) signals between the die and the first substrate and a second substrate coupled with the first substrate, wherein the die is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate include traces configured to provide electro-magnetic interference (EMI) shielding for the die. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Techniques for reducing warpage for microelectronic packages are provided. A warpage control layer or stiffener can be attached to a bottom surface of a substrate or layer that is used to attach the microelectronics package to a motherboard. The warpage control layer can have a thickness approximately equal to a thickness of a die of the microelectronics package. A coefficient of thermal expansion of the warpage control layer can be selected to approximately match a CTE of the die. The warpage control layer can be formed from an insulating material or a metallic material. The warpage control layer can comprise multiple materials and can include copper pillar segments to adjust the effective CTE of the warpage control layer. The warpage control layer can be positioned between the microelectronics package and the motherboard, thereby providing warpage control without contributing to the z-height of the microelectronics package.

A microelectronic structure includes a substrate having a first surface and a cavity extending into the substrate from the substrate first surface, a first microelectronic device and a second microelectronic device attached to the substrate first surface, and a bridge disposed within the substrate cavity and attached to the first microelectronic device and to the second microelectronic device. The bridge includes a plurality conductive vias extending from a first surface to an opposing second surface of the bridge, wherein the conductive vias are electrically coupled to deliver electrical signals from the substrate to the first microelectronic device and the second microelectronic device. The bridge further creates at least one electrical signal connection between the first microelectronic device and the second microelectronic device.

Abstract:
A microelectronic package may be formed with a picture frame stiffener surrounding a microelectronic die for reducing warpage of the microelectronic package. An embodiment for fabricating such a microelectronic package may include forming a microelectronic die having an active surface and an opposing back surface, wherein the microelectronic die active surface may be attached to a microelectronic substrate. A picture frame stiffener having an opening therethrough may be formed and placed on a release film, wherein a mold material may be deposited over the picture frame stiffener and the release film. The microelectronic die may be inserted into the mold material, wherein at least a portion of the microelectronic die extends into the picture frame opening. The release film may be removed and a portion of the mold material extending over the microelectronic die back surface may then be removed to form the microelectronic package.

Abstract:
Input/output (I/O) routing from one integrated circuit die to other integrated circuit dies in an integrated circuit component comprising heterogeneous and vertically stacked die is made from the top and bottom surfaces of the integrated circuit die to the other dies. Die-to-die I/O routing from the die to laterally adjacent die is made from the top surface of the die via one or more redistribution layers. Die-to-die routing from the die to vertically adjacent die is made via hybrid bonding on the bottom surface of the die. Embedded bridges or chiplets or not used for die-to-die I/O routing, which can free up space for more through-dielectric vias to provide power and ground connections to the die, which can provide for improved power delivery.
