Abstract: Semiconductor packages and package assemblies having active dies and external die mounts on a silicon wafer, and methods of fabricating such semiconductor packages and package assemblies, are described. In an example, a semiconductor package assembly includes a semiconductor package having an active die attached to a silicon wafer by a first solder bump. A second solder bump is on the silicon wafer laterally outward from the active die to provide a mount for an external die. An epoxy layer may surround the active die and cover the silicon wafer. A hole may extend through the epoxy layer above the second solder bump to expose the second solder bump through the hole. Accordingly, an external memory die can be connected directly to the second solder bump on the silicon wafer through the hole.

Abstract: Semiconductor package interposers having high-density and high-aspect ratio encapsulated interconnects, and semiconductor package assemblies incorporating such interposers, are described. In an example, a semiconductor package interposer includes several conductive interconnects encapsulated in a polymer substrate and having height dimensions greater than a cross-sectional dimension. The semiconductor package interposer may support a first semiconductor package above a second semiconductor package and may electrically connect die pins of the first semiconductor package to die pins of the second semiconductor package.
