  • Publication number: 20240224543
    Abstract: Multi-chip/die device including a logic IC die facing a first side of a glass substrate and a memory IC die facing, and coupled to, the logic IC die. First ones of first metallization features of the logic IC die are coupled to through-glass vias extending through a thickness of the glass substrate. The memory IC die is coupled to second ones of the first metallization features, either directly or by way of other through-glass vias. The logic IC die and/or memory IC die may be directly bonded to the through-glass vias or may be attached by solder. The logic IC die or memory IC die may be embedded within the glass substrate. Through-glass vias within a region beyond an edge of the memory IC die may couple the logic IC die to a host component either through a routing structure built up adjacent the memory IC die, or through solder features attached to the glass substrate adjacent to the memory IC die.
