  • Patent number: 11784151
    Abstract: Examples herein include die to metallization structure connections that eliminate the solder joint to reduce the resistance and noise on the connection. In one example, a first die is attached to a metallization layer by a plurality of copper interconnections and a second is attached to the metallization layer opposite the first die through another plurality of copper interconnections. In this example, the copper interconnects may connect the respective die to a metallization structure in the metallization layer.

  • Patent number: 11552023
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to an embedded trace substrate (ETS) with one or more passive components embedded therein. Such an ETS may provide shorter routing, smaller loop area, and lower parasitics between a semiconductor die and a land-side passive component embedded in the ETS. One example embedded trace substrate generally includes a core, a first insulating material disposed above the core and having a first metal pattern embedded therein, a second insulating material disposed below the core and having a second metal pattern embedded therein, and one or more passive components embedded in the core.

  • Patent number: 11456291
    Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) packages employing split, double-sided IC metallization structures to facilitate a semiconductor die module employing stacked dice, and related fabrication methods are disclosed. Multiple IC dice in the IC package are stacked and bonded together in a back-to-back, top and bottom IC die configuration in an IC die module, which can minimize the height of the IC package. The metallization structure is split between separate top and bottom metallization structures adjacent to respective top and bottom surfaces of the IC die module to facilitate die-to-die and external electrical connections to the dice. The top and bottom metallization structures can be double-sided by exposing substrate interconnects on respective inner and outer surfaces for respective die and external electrical interconnections. In other aspects, a compression bond is included between the IC dice mounted together in a back-to-back configuration to further minimize the overall height of the IC package.
