  • Publication number: 20240014138
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards techniques and configurations for layered interconnect structures for bridge interconnection in integrated circuit assemblies. In one embodiment, an apparatus may include a substrate and a bridge embedded in the substrate. The bridge may be configured to route electrical signals between two dies. An interconnect structure, electrically coupled with the bridge, may include a via structure including a first conductive material, a barrier layer including a second conductive material disposed on the via structure, and a solderable material including a third conductive material disposed on the barrier layer. The first conductive material, the second conductive material, and the third conductive material may have different chemical composition. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 11166379
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards techniques and configurations for dual surface finish package substrate assemblies. In one embodiment a method includes depositing a first surface finish on one or more electrical routing features located on a first side of a package substrate and on one or more lands located on a second side of the package substrate, the second side being opposite the first side of the substrate. The method may further include removing the first surface finish on the first side of the package substrate; and depositing a second surface finish on the one or more electrical routing features of the first side. The depositing of the second surface finish may be accomplished by one of a Direct Immersion Gold (DIG) process or an Organic Solderability Preservative (OSP) process. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
