  • Patent number: 11742253
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) package that is to be incorporated into a computing device may include a metallization structure with circuits and/or other elements such as capacitors or inductors thereon. Pads for input/output (I/O) (or other) purposes may also be present at different locations on the metallization structure. Exemplary aspects of the present disclosure allow mold material to be placed over the circuits and/or other elements in readily-customizable configurations so as to allow placement of the I/O pads in any desired location on the metallization structure. Specifically, before the mold material is applied to the metallization structure, a mask material such as tape may be applied to portions of the metallization structure that contain I/O pads or otherwise have reasons to not have mold material thereon. The mold material is applied, and the mask material is removed, taking unwanted mold material with the mask material.
