Patent number: 11361140Abstract: Automated routing of signal nets for interposer designs. Signal nets are defined by their endpoints (bumps). The nets and their corresponding bumps are assigned to bump groups, based on the relative locations of the bumps and also based on length-matching constraints for the nets. Some of the bump groups may be “clones,” where the routing for one bump group may also be applied to its clone. In order for two bump groups to be clones, the bumps in the two bump groups must have a same relative position (i.e., same bump pattern), and the nets in the two bump groups must be subject to the same length-matching constraint. The routing through the interposer for one of the clones is determined, and that routing is then replicated for the other clones.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Synopsys, Inc.Inventors: Jitendra Kumar Gupta, Ksenia Roze, Xun Liu, Paul Chang, Lan Luo

Patent number: 11362027Abstract: In one example, a semiconductor device includes a substrate with a top side, a bottom side, and a conductive structure. A first electronic component includes a first side, a second side, and first component terminals adjacent to the first side. The first component terminals face the substrate bottom side and are connected to the conductive structure. A second electronic component comprises a first side, a second side, and second component terminals adjacent to the second electronic component first side. The second electronic component second side is connected to the first electronic component second side so that the first component terminals and the second component terminals face opposite directions. Substrate interconnects are connected to the conductive structure, and a bottom encapsulant covers the substrate bottom side, the first electronic component, the second electronic component, and the substrate interconnects.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Amkor Technology Singapore Holding Pte.
