  • Patent number: 10950550
    Abstract: Semiconductor packages with through bridge die connections and a method of manufacture therefor is disclosed. The semiconductor packages may house one or more electronic components as a system in a package (SiP) implementation. A bridge die, such as an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB), may be embedded within one or more build-up layers of the semiconductor package. The bridge die may have an electrically conductive bulk that may be electrically connected on a backside to a power plane and used to deliver power to one or more dies attached to the semiconductor package via interconnects formed on a topside of the bridge die that are electrically connected to the bulk of the bridge die.
