  • Publication number: 20250218904
    Abstract: Technologies for components embedded in a substrate core are disclosed. In one embodiment, power components such as deep trench capacitors are disposed in a cavity defined in a substrate core for a circuit board of an integrated circuit package, such as a processor. A spacer may be included between the power components. The power components are stacked on top of each other, allowing for the stack of power components to match the height of the substrate core, even when the height of the individual power components is less than the height of the substrate core. Configuring the power components in this manner can provide mechanical stability to the power components and substrate core and provide power to a semiconductor die mounted on the circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20250201787
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for embedding deep trench capacitors (DTCs) in a package substrate. The method includes fabricating an integrated circuit on a silicon substrate core and identifying a deep trench capacitor (DTC) component to integrate with the integrated circuit. A cavity is created in the silicon substrate core to accommodate the DTC component. The cavity extends therethrough, like a through-hole. A temporary carrier is attached to the silicon substrate to create a cavity floor. A gap magnitude is determined, which is a difference between the thickness of the silicon substrate core and the thickness of the DTC component. An epoxy material with a minimum bond line that matches the gap magnitude is selected and implemented to fill the gap in fabrication. The minimum bond line is controlled by selection of particles to use in the epoxy material.

  • Publication number: 20250087587
    Abstract: Architectures and process flows for an embedded organic bridge component for semiconductor packages. The bulk of the substrate package fabrication can be done using conventional processing steps to meet core geometries (e.g., 9/12) with associated equipment and clean room protocols. Separately the organic bridge component is fabricated to embed into the substrate package at a location where the high-speed input/output (I/O) performance and high-density (HD) geometry are required. The organic bridge component is fabricated as required to meet the HD geometry (e.g., 3/3, or less). During assembly, the embedded organic bridge component can be attached into a cavity in the substrate package.
