Abstract:
A packaging substrate, a packaged semiconductor device, a computing device and methods for forming the same are provided. In one embodiment, a packaging substrate is provided that includes a packaging structure having a chip mounting surface and a bottom surface. The packaging structure has at a plurality of conductive paths formed between the chip mounting surface and the bottom surface. The conductive paths are configured to provide electrical connection between an integrated circuit chip disposed on the chip mounting surface and the bottom surface of the packaging structure. The packaging structure has an opening formed in the chip mounting surface proximate a perimeter of the packaging structure. A stiffening microstructure is disposed in the opening and is coupled to the packaging structure.
Abstract:
One embodiment sets forth an integrated circuit package that includes a substrate, one or more devices mounted on the substrate, a layer of under-fill configured to secure the one or more devices on the substrate, and a solder trench formed in the substrate, where the aggregate volume of the solder trench is large enough to capture a flow of excess under-fill during fabrication. One advantage of the disclosed integrated circuit package is that the solder trench is used in lieu of solder dam structures, thereby allowing a stencil to be lowered closer to the substrate surface during fabrication, which facilitates depositing solder paste during fabrication.
Abstract:
Stiffening is provided for an electronic package assembly having a substrate. A first electronic package, having a first function, is electromechanically fastened to a first surface of the substrate with a first array of electrically conductive interconnects, which is disposed over a central area of the substrate first surface. A second electronic package, having a second function, is fastened to the first substrate surface with a second conductive interconnect array. At least a pair of the first array conductors is electrically coupled to at least a pair of the second array conductors for data/signal exchange and at least a component of the first electronic package interacts with at least a component of the second package. A metallic stiffener ring is disposed about an outer periphery of at least the central area of the substrate.
