The recess may be configured to accommodate a semiconductor device located over a surface of an interposer that is bonded to the package substrate. Accordingly, a minimum gap distance may be maintained between the semiconductor device and the package substrate, which may ensure that sufficient underfill material may flow between the semiconductor device and the package substrate and within the at least one channel, thereby improving of the structural coupling between the interposer and the package substrate, and reducing the likelihood of package defects, such as delamination, cracking, and/or popcorn defects.

Abstract: A semiconductor package, which may correspond to a high-performance computing package, includes an interposer, a substrate, and an integrated circuit device between the interposer and the substrate. The integrated circuit device, which may correspond to an integrated passive device, is attached to the interposer within a cavity of the interposer. Attaching the integrated circuit device within the cavity of the interposer creates a clearance between the integrated circuit device and the substrate. In this way, a likelihood of the integrated circuit device contacting the substrate during a bending and/or a deformation of the semiconductor package is reduced. By reducing the likelihood of such contact, damage to the integrated circuit device and/or the substrate may be avoided to increase a reliability and/or yield of the semiconductor package.

Abstract: Some implementations described herein provide techniques and apparatuses for a semiconductor package. The semiconductor package, which may correspond to a high performance computing package, includes a reinforcement structure that is embedded in a substrate of the semiconductor package. The reinforcement structure may increase a rigidity of the semiconductor package so that a warpage is reduced and a coplanarity between the substrate and a printed circuit board is maintained during a surface mount process. Reducing the warpage may increase a robustness of connection structures between an interposer and the substrate. Additionally, maintaining the coplanarity reduces a likelihood that connection structures at a bottom surface of the substrate will fail to adequately solder or attach to lands of the printed circuit board during the surface mount process.

Abstract: A multi-die package includes a plurality of non-active dies among the IC dies included in the multi-die package. The non-active dies may be included to reduce the amount of encapsulant material and/or an underfill material that is used in the multi-die package, which reduces the amount of CTE mismatch in the multi-die package. Moreover, a plurality of non-active dies may be positioned in an adjacent manner between two or more active IC dies. The use of a plurality of non-active dies in a particular area of the multi-die package increases the quantity of gaps in the multi-die package. The increased quantity of gaps in the multi-die package provides an increased amount of area in the multi-die package for stress and strain absorption, and enables more even distribution of stresses and strains in the multi-die package.
