  • Patent number: 11211359
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a plurality of interconnected modular units to form a 3D semiconductor package. Each modular unit is implemented as a vertical component or a horizontal component. The modular units are interconnected through a vertical conduction path and lateral conduction path within the vertical component or horizontal component. The vertical component and horizontal component each have an interconnect interposer or semiconductor die. A first conductive via is formed vertically through the interconnect interposer. A second conductive via is formed laterally through the interconnect interposer. The interconnect interposer can be programmable. A plurality of protrusions and recesses are formed on the vertical component or horizontal component, and a plurality of recesses on the vertical component or horizontal component. The protrusions are inserted into the recesses to interlock the vertical component and horizontal component.
