Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a catalyst-doped mold interconnect system, where activated catalyst particles that line via and trace corridors, are used for electroless-plating formation of both liners and vias and traces that also electrolessly plate onto the liners. Photolithographically formed interconnects can be mingled with laser-ablation form-factor vias and traces within a single stratum of a catalyst doped mold interconnect system.

In an embodiment, the electronic package comprises a package substrate, an organic layer over the package substrate, and a capacitor embedded in the organic layer. In an embodiment, the capacitor comprises, a first electrode, where the first electrode comprises a seam between a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer, a dielectric layer over the first electrode, and a second electrode over the dielectric layer.

Abstract: A die assembly is disclosed. The die assembly includes a die, one or more die pads on a first surface of the die and a die attach film on the die where the die attach film includes one or more openings that expose the one or more die pads and that extend to one or more edges of the die.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are integrated circuit (IC) package supports having inductors with magnetic material therein. For example, in some embodiments, an IC package support may include an inductor including a solenoid, a first portion of a magnetic material in an interior of the solenoid, and a second portion of magnetic material outside the interior of the solenoid.

Abstract: Embodiments include package substrates and a method of forming the package substrates. A package substrate includes a dielectric having a cavity that has a footprint, a resistor embedded in the cavity of the dielectric, and a plurality of traces on the resistor, where a plurality of surfaces of the resistor are activated surfaces. The resistor may also have a plurality of sidewalls which may be activated sidewalls and tapered. The dielectric may include metallization particles/ions. The resistor may include resistive materials, such as nickel-phosphorus (NiP), aluminum-nitride (AlN), and/or titanium-nitride (TiN). The package substrate may further include a first resistor embedded adjacently to the resistor. The first resistor may have a first footprint of a first cavity that is different than the footprint of the cavity of the resistor. The resistor may have a resistance value that is thus different than a first resistance value of the first resistor.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, or processes for embedding a magnetic core or a magnetic inductor in a substrate layer by applying a copper layer to a portion of the substrate layer, creating a structure in the substrate layer on top of at least part of the copper layer to identify a defined region within the substrate layer, and inserting a magnetic paste into the defined region where the copper layer identifies a side of the defined region and where the structure is to contain the magnetic paste within the defined region while the magnetic paste cures.
