Abstract:
Some embodiments relate to an electronic package. The electronic package includes a first die and a second die stacked onto the first die. A first encapsulant is positioned between the first die and the second die. The first encapsulant includes a first material that covers a first volume between the first die and the second die. A second encapsulant is positioned between the first die and the second die. The second encapsulant includes a second material that covers a second volume between the first die and the second die. The first material has a higher thermal conductivity than the second material, and the second material more effectively promotes electrical connections between the first die and the second die as compared to the first material.
Abstract:
Methods of forming a microelectronic packaging structure and associated structures formed thereby are described. Those methods and structures may include modifying an underfill material with one of a thiol adhesion promoter, an azole coupling agent, surface modified filler, and peroxide based cross-linking polymer chemistries to greatly enhance adhesion in package structures utilizing the embodiments herein.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward underfill material including block copolymer. In one embodiment, an underfill material includes epoxy material and a copolymer including an epoxy-philic block and an epoxy-phobic block, wherein the epoxy-philic block is miscible in the epoxy material, the epoxy-phobic block is covalently bonded with the epoxy-philic block, the epoxy-phobic block is separated in a microphase domain within the epoxy material and the epoxy-philic block is configured to restrict thermal expansion or contraction of the epoxy material.

Abstract:
Integrated circuit (IC) dies, microelectronic assemblies, and related devices and methods, are disclosed herein. For example, in some embodiments, an IC die may include a substrate, a front-end-of-line (FEOL) layer over the substrate, where the FEOL layer includes a plurality of transistors, a first back-end-of-line (BEOL) layer comprising first interconnects, a second BEOL layer comprising second interconnects, and a third BEOL layer comprising third interconnects, wherein the first BEOL layer is between the FEOL layer and the second BEOL layer, the second BEOL layer is between the first BEOL layer and the third BEOL layer, and an electrically conductive fill material of the second interconnects is different from an electrically conductive fill material of the first interconnects and from an electrically conductive fill material of the third interconnects.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are tunable capacitor arrangements in integrated circuit (IC) package substrates, as well as related methods and devices. For example, in some embodiments, an IC package substrate may include a first embedded capacitor, a second embedded capacitor, and a fuse electrically coupled between the first embedded capacitor and the second embedded capacitor such that when the fuse is in a closed state, the first embedded capacitor and the second embedded capacitor are connected in parallel, and when the fuse is in an open state, the first embedded capacitor and the second embedded capacitor are not connected in parallel.
