    Abstract: A device includes a die with perimeters associated therewith, a substrate, and a test channel. The die is coupled to the substrate via a plurality of C4 bumps on a first side of the substrate. The substrate has connections on a second side of the substrate, opposite to the first side. A first connection connects a C4 bump on the first side of the substrate to a connection on the second side using a metal layer. The test channel is positioned within the substrate and further positioned outside of the perimeter of the die coupled to the substrate. The test channel is positioned at substantially a same depth as the metal layer of the first connection. A probe connecting to the test channel via pads positioned on a same side of the substrate that provides electrical characteristics that is substantially the same as electrical characteristics of the first connection.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit assembly having an improved solder connection, and methods for fabricating the same are provided that utilize platelets within the solder connections to inhibit solder connection failure, thus providing a more robust solder interface. In one example, an integrated circuit assembly is provided that includes a package substrate having a first plurality of contact pads exposed on a first surface of the package substrate and a second plurality of contact pads exposed on a second surface of the package substrate. The second plurality of contact pads have a pitch that is greater than a pitch of the first plurality of contact pads. Interconnect circuitry is disposed in the package substrate and couples the first and second pluralities of contact pads. At least a first contact pad of the second plurality of contact pads includes a solder ball disposed directly in contact with a palladium layer.

    Abstract: A chip package assembly and method for fabricating the same are provided which utilize a conformal lid to improve the chip package assembly from deformation. In one example, a chip package assembly is provided that includes integrated circuit (IC) dies, a packaging substrate, and a lid. The packaging substrate has a die receiving area that is defined by the laterally outermost extents of the IC dies mounted to the packaging substrate. The lid a surface that includes a first region and a second region. The first region is disposed over the first IC die while the second region of the lid extends below the second surface the first IC die and is spaced above the packaging substrate. At least a portion of the second region of the lid is overlapped with the die receiving area.

    Abstract: A chip package assembly and method for fabricating the same are provided which utilize a plurality of posts in mold compound for improved resistance to delamination. In one example, a chip package assembly is provided that includes a first integrated circuit (IC) die, a substrate, a redistribution layer, a mold compound and a plurality of posts. The redistribution layer provides electrical connections between circuitry of the first IC die and circuitry of the substrate. The mold compound is disposed in contact with the first IC die and spaced from the substrate by the redistribution layer. The plurality of posts are disposed in the mold compound and are laterally spaced from the first IC die. The plurality of posts are not electrically connected to the circuitry of the first IC die.

    Abstract: A universal interposer for an integrated circuit (IC) device has a body having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A first region is formed on a first side of the body along a first edge. The first region has first slots, each having an identical first bond pad layout. A second region is formed on the first side along a second edge, opposite the first edge. The second region has second slots having an identical second bond pad layout. A third region having third slots is formed on the first side between the first and second regions, each slot having an identical third bond pad layout. A pad density of the third bond pad layout is greater than the first bond pad layout. One of the third slots is coupled to contact pads disposed in a region not directly below any of the second slots.
