  • Publication number: 20200118917
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing a dielectric layer on a semiconductor substrate capable of supporting very high density interconnects (i.e., ?100 IO/mm). The dielectric layer includes a maleimide polymer in which a thiol-terminated functional group crosslinks with an epoxy resin. The resultant dielectric material provides a dielectric constant of less than 3 and a dissipation factor of less than 0.001. Additionally, the thiol functional group forms coordination complexes with noble metals present in the conductive structures, thus by controlling the stoichiometry of epoxy to polyimide, the thiol-polyimide may beneficially provide an adhesion enhancer between the dielectric and noble metal conductive structures.

  • Publication number: 20200098848
    Abstract: Methods of forming an inductor using dry processes are described. A cavity is laser drilled in an insulator. A first magnetic material layer is printed in the cavity. An Ag conductive ink is printed on the first magnetic material layer and a second magnetic material layer printed on the ink. The ink has a trace sandwiched between the first and second magnetic material layers that provides a majority of the inductance of the inductor. A protective insulating layer protects the second magnetic material layer from a wet chemistry solution when contacts are formed to the ink. The second magnetic material layer and ink are deposited in or on the cavity.

  • Publication number: 20200006464
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of forming a magnetic inductor circuit. A substrate is provided and a first magnetic layer is formed in contact with one layer of the substrate. A conductive trace is formed in contact with the first magnetic layer. A sacrificial cooper layer protects the magnetic material from wet chemistry process steps. A conductive connection is formed from the conductive trace to the outside substrate, the conductive connection comprising a horizontal connection formed by in-layer plating A second magnetic layer is formed in contact with the conductive trace. Instead of a horizontal connection, a vertical conductive connection can be formed that is perpendicular to the magnetic layers, by drilling a first via in a second of the magnetic layers, forming a buildup layer, and drilling a second via through the buildup layer, where the buildup layer protects the magnetic layers from wet chemistry processes.
