  • Patent number: 11139269
    Abstract: An electronic package and a method of manufacture includes a substrate having an upper surface with a trench formed in a bridge region. First pads are arranged on the upper surface of the substrate, outside of the bridge region, and a bridge is positioned in the trench. A plurality of second pads are arranged on an upper surface of the bridge. A plurality of pillars are electrically coupled to the plurality of second pads. Two or more semiconductor chips are positioned in a side-by-side proximal arrangement overlaying the bridge and the substrate. A first semiconductor chip is joined to the bridge, then a second semiconductor chip is joined to the bridge, followed by attaching the chip-bridge assembly to the substrate with the bridge positioned within the substrate trench. Each of the two or more semiconductor chips have first electrical connections including bumps, and second electrical connections including third pads.

  • Patent number: 10991635
    Abstract: The present invention includes a bridge connector with one or more semiconductor layers in a bridge connector shape. The shape has one or more edges, one or more bridge connector contacts on a surface of the shape, and one or more bridge connectors. The bridge connectors run through one or more of the semiconductor layers and connect two or more of the bridge connector contacts. The bridge connector contacts are with a tolerance distance from one of the edges. In some embodiments the bridge connector is a central bridge connector that connects two or more chips disposed on the substrate of a multi-chip module (MCM). The chips have chip contacts that are on an interior corner of the chip. The interior corners face one another. The central bridge connector overlaps the interior corners so that each of one or more of the bridge contacts is in electrical contact with each of one or more of the chip contacts. In some embodiments, overlap is minimized to permit more access to the surface of the chips.
