  • Patent number: 11296053
    Abstract: Direct bonded stack structures for increased reliability and improved yields in microelectronics are provided. Structural features and stack configurations are provided for memory modules and 3DICs to reduce defects in vertically stacked dies. Example processes alleviate warpage stresses between a thicker top die and direct bonded dies beneath it, for example. An etched surface on the top die may relieve warpage stresses. An example stack may include a compliant layer between dies. Another stack configuration replaces the top die with a layer of molding material to circumvent warpage stresses. An array of cavities on a bonding surface can alleviate stress forces. One or more stress balancing layers may also be created on a side of the top die or between other dies to alleviate or counter warpage. Rounding of edges can prevent stresses and pressure forces from being destructively transmitted through die and substrate layers. These measures may be applied together or in combinations in a single package.

    Abstract: To overcome the problem of devices in a multi-chip package (MCP) interfering with one another, such as through electromagnetic interference (EMI) and/or radio-frequency interference (RFI), the chip package can include an electrically conductive stiffener that at least partially electrically shields the devices from one another. At least some of the devices can be positioned in respective recesses in the stiffener. In some examples, when the devices are positioned in the recesses, at least one device does not extend beyond a plane defined by a first side of the stiffener. Such shielding can help reduce interference between the devices. Because device-to-device electrical interference can be reduced, devices on the package can be positioned closer to one another, thereby reducing a size of the package. The devices can electrically connect to a substrate via electrical connections that extend through the stiffener.

  • Patent number: 11158578
    Abstract: Embodiments that allow both high density and low density interconnection between microelectronic die and motherboard via Direct Chip Attach (DCA) are described. In some embodiments, microelectronic die have a high density interconnect with a small bump pitch located along one edge and a lower density connection region with a larger bump pitch located in other regions of the die. The high density interconnect regions between die are interconnected using an interconnecting bridge made out of a material that can support high density interconnect manufactured into it, such as silicon. The lower density connection regions are used to attach interconnected die directly to a board using DCA. The high density interconnect can utilize current Controlled Collapsed Chip Connection (C4) spacing when interconnecting die with an interconnecting bridge, while allowing much larger spacing on circuit boards.

  • Patent number: 11127712
    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing redundant functionality in a semiconductor die and package are provided. A three-dimensional electrical mesh network conductively couples smaller semiconductor dies, each including circuitry to provide a first functionality, to a larger base die that includes circuitry to provide a redundant first functionality to the semiconductor die circuitry. The semiconductor die circuitry and the base die circuitry selectively conductively couple to a common conductive structure such that either the semiconductor die circuitry or the base die circuitry is able to provide the first functionality at the conductive structure. Driver circuitry may autonomously or manually, reversibly or irreversibly, cause the semiconductor die circuitry and the base die circuitry couple to the conductive structure. The redundant first functionality circuitry improves the operational flexibility and reliability of the semiconductor die and package.
