Abstract: IC chip package routing structures including a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor integrated with redistribution layers. An active side of an IC chip may be electrically coupled to the redistribution layers through first-level interconnects. The redistribution layers terminate at interfaces suitable for coupling a package to a host component through second-level interconnects. The MIM capacitor structure may comprise materials suitable for high temperature processing, for example of 350° C., or more. The MIM capacitor structure may therefore be fabricated over a host substrate using higher temperature processing. The redistribution layers and MIM capacitor may then be embedded within package dielectric material(s) using lower temperature processing. An IC chip may be attached to the package routing structure, and the package then separated from the host substrate for further assembly to a host component.

Abstract: A recess in a die backside surface occupies a footprint that accommodates an inductor coil that is formed in metallization above an active surface of the die. Less semiconductive material is therefore close to the inductor coil. A ferromagnetic material is formed in the recess, or a ferromagnetic material is formed on a dielectric layer above the inductor coil. The recess may extend across a die that allows the die to be deflected at the recess.
