  • Publication number: 20240030116
    Abstract: Ultra-thin, hyper-density semiconductor packages and techniques of forming such packages are described. An exemplary semiconductor package is formed with one or more of: (i) metal pillars having an ultra-fine pitch (e.g., a pitch that is greater than or equal to 150 ?m, etc.); (ii) a large die-to-package ratio (e.g., a ratio that is equal to or greater than 0.85, etc.); and (iii) a thin pitch translation interposer. Another exemplary semiconductor package is formed using coreless substrate technology, die back metallization, and low temperature solder technology for ball grid array (BGA) metallurgy. Other embodiments are described.

  • Publication number: 20200251462
    Abstract: An offset interposer includes a land side including land-side ball-grid array (BGA) and a package-on-package (POP) side including a POP-side BGA. The land-side BGA includes two adjacent, spaced-apart land-side pads, and the POP-side BGA includes two adjacent, spaced-apart POP-side pads that are coupled to the respective two land-side BGA pads through the offset interposer. The land-side BGA is configured to interface with a first-level interconnect. The POP-side BGA is configured to interface with a POP substrate. Each of the two land-side pads has a different footprint than the respective two POP-side pads.
