  • Publication number: 20170125349
    Abstract: Embodiments that allow multi-chip interconnect using organic bridges are described. In some embodiments an organic package substrate has an embedded organic bridge. The organic bridge can have interconnect structures that allow attachment of die to be interconnected by the organic bridge. In some embodiments, the organic bridge comprises a metal routing layer, a metal pad layer and interleaved organic polymer dielectric layers but without a substrate layer. Embodiments having only a few layers may be embedded into the top layer or top few layers of the organic package substrate. Methods of manufacture are also described.

  • Publication number: 20120261838
    Abstract: A multi-chip package includes a substrate (110) having a first side (111), an opposing second side (112), and a third side (213) that extends from the first side to the second side, a first die (120) attached to the first side of the substrate and a second die (130) attached to the first side of the substrate, and a bridge (140) adjacent to the third side of the substrate and attached to the first die and to the second die. No portion of the substrate is underneath the bridge. The bridge creates a connection between the first die and the second die. Alternatively, the bridge may be disposed in a cavity (615, 915) in the substrate or between the substrate and a die layer (750). The bridge may constitute an active die and may be attached to the substrate using wirebonds (241, 841, 1141, 1541).
