Abstract: A testing probe structure for wafer level testing semiconductor IC packaged devices under test (DUT). The structure includes a substrate, through substrate vias, a bump array formed on a first surface of the substrate for engaging a probe card, and at least one probing unit on a second surface of the substrate. The probing unit includes a conductive probe pad formed on one surface of the substrate and at least one microbump interconnected to the pad.

Abstract: An interposer of a package system includes a first probe pad disposed adjacent to a first surface of the interposer. A second probe pad is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the interposer. A first bump of a first dimension is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the interposer. The first bump is electrically coupled with the first probe pad. A second bump of the first dimension is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the interposer. The second bump is electrically coupled with the second probe pad. The second bump is electrically coupled with the first bump through a redistribution layer (RDL) of the interposer.

Abstract: A microelectronic package includes a packaging substrate having a chip mounting surface; a chip mounted on the chip mounting surface of the packaging substrate with the chip's active surface facing down to the chip mounting surface; a plurality of input/output (I/O) pads distributed on the active surface of the chip; and a discrete passive element mounted on the active surface of the chip. The discrete passive element may be a decoupling capacitor, a resistor, or an inductor.

Abstract: A system comprises a processor-implemented tool configured to generate a layout of an integrated circuit (IC) die. At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium includes a first portion encoded with a first gate-level description of first and second circuit patterns to be formed on first and second integrated circuit (IC) dies, respectively, and a second portion encoded with a second gate level description of the first and second circuit patterns received from the processor implemented tool. The second gate level description includes power and ground ports, and the first gate level description does not include power and ground ports. A processor-implemented first verification module is provided for comparing the first and second gate level descriptions and outputting a verified second gate-level description of the first and second circuit patterns.

Abstract: One or more techniques or systems for incorporating a common template into a system on chip (SOC) design are provided herein. For example, a common template mask set is generated based on a first set of polygon positions from a first vendor and a second set of polygon positions from a second vendor. A third party creates a third party SOC design using a set of design rules generated based on the common template mask set. The common template is fabricated based on the third party SOC design using the common template mask set. Because the common template is formed using the common template mask set and because the common template mask set is based on polygon positions from both the first vendor and the second vendor, a part can be connected to the SOC regardless of whether the part is sourced from the first vendor or the second vendor.

Abstract: Some methods provide an electronic design file, which includes an integrated circuit (IC) component that is operably coupled to a package component. The IC component and package component collectively form a resistor inductor capacitor (RLC) resonant circuit. The method also provides a damping component in the electronic design file. This damping component is configured to reduce a pre-resonant time during which energy exchanged in the RLC resonant circuit approaches a steady-state, and thereby speeds simulation time.
