  • Patent number: 11973040
    Abstract: A method is provided for forming an integrated circuit (IC) chip package structure. The method includes providing a substrate for an interposer, and forming a conductive interconnect structure in and on the substrate for connecting a group of selected IC dies. The method includes forming warpage-reducing trenches in non-routing regions of the interposer, wherein the warpage-reducing trenches are sized and positioned based on a warpage characteristic to reduce the warpage of the chip package structure. The method also includes depositing a warpage-relief material in the warpage-reducing trenches according to the warpage characteristic to reduce the warpage of the chip package structure, and bonding the group of selected IC dies to the interposer to form a chip package structure.

  • Publication number: 20240055354
    Abstract: A first integrated circuit (IC) die includes a first substrate. A second IC die includes a second substrate. At least one of the first substrate or the second substrate has a first surface orientation. The first IC die is spaced apart from the second IC die. A third die electrically interconnects the first IC die to the second IC die. The third die includes a third substrate having a second surface orientation. The second surface orientation is different from the first surface orientation.

  • Publication number: 20230386944
    Abstract: A package comprises an interposer, comprising an interposer substrate including at least one layer, and a plurality of RDLs formed through at least a portion of the interposer substrate. The package also includes a die device structure comprising at least one device die, and a first test line (TL) structure interposed between the interposer and the die device structure. The first TL structure includes at least one first test line electrically coupled to the at least one device die, at least a portion of the at least one first test line extending beyond a peripheral edge of the die device structure to provide an electrical interface with the at least one device die.

  • Patent number: 11742276
    Abstract: A package manufacturing process and semiconductor packages are provided. An interposer having a crystal structure is provided. A first die and a second die are bonded on the interposer. The second die is positioned to be spaced apart from the first die with a gap extending direction that is perpendicular to a shortest distance of the gap, and the gap extending direction is not parallel with a crystallographic orientation of the crystal structure of the interposer. A molding compound is formed over the interposer covering the first and second dies. The molding compound and the interposer are cut into packages.
