Abstract:
Some novel features pertain to an integrated device that includes a substrate, a first interconnect coupled to the substrate, and a second interconnect surrounding the first interconnect. The second interconnect may be configured to provide an electrical connection to ground. In some implementations, the second interconnect includes a plate. In some implementations, the integrated device also includes a dielectric material between the first interconnect and the second interconnect. In some implementations, the integrated device also includes a mold surrounding the second interconnect. In some implementations, the first interconnect is configured to conduct a power signal in a first direction. In some implementations, the second interconnect is configured to conduct a grounding signal in a second direction. In some implementations, the second direction is different from the first direction. In some implementations, the integrated device may be a package-on-package (PoP) device.

A package on package (PoP) device includes a first package and a second package. The first package includes a first package substrate, a die coupled to the first package substrate, an encapsulation layer located on the first package substrate, and an inter package connection coupled to the first package substrate. The inter package connection is located in the encapsulation layer. The inter package connection includes a first interconnect configured to provide a first electrical path for a reference ground signal, and a second set of interconnects configured to provide at least one second electrical path for at least one second signal. The first interconnect has a length that is at least about twice as long as a width of the first interconnect. The second set of interconnects is configured to at least be partially coupled to the first interconnect by an electric field.

Abstract:
Flexible film electrical-test substrates with at least one conductive contact post for integrated circuit (IC) bump(s) electrical testing, and related methods and testing apparatuses are disclosed. The backside structure of an electrical-test substrate comprises a flexible dielectric film structure. One or more fine-pitched conductive coupling posts are formed on conductive pads disposed on a front side of the flexible dielectric film structure through a fabrication process. A first pitch of the conductive coupling post(s) in the flexible dielectric film structure is provided to be the same or substantially the same as a second pitch of one or more bumps in an IC, such as die or interposer (e.g., forty (40) micrometers (μm) or less). This allows the conductive coupling post(s) to be placed into mechanical contact with at least one bump of the IC, point-by-point, during an electrical test to electrically testing of the IC.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for preventing warpage of a semiconductor substrate in a semiconductor package. A continuous or uninterrupted stiffener structure is designed with a recessed groove, such that passive components, such as, high density capacitors are housed within the recessed groove. The stiffener structure with the recessed groove is attached to the semiconductor substrate using anisotropic conductive film (ACF) or anisotropic conductive paste (ACP). The stiffener structure with the recessed groove surrounds one or more semiconductor devices that may be formed on the semiconductor substrate. The stiffener structure with the recessed groove does not extend beyond horizontal boundaries of the semiconductor substrate.

The heat-dissipation layer may be configured to provide an electrical path for a ground signal. The first interconnect may be further configured to conduct heat from the die to the heat-dissipation layer. The integrated device may also include a second interconnect configured to couple the die to the substrate. The second interconnect may be further configured to conduct a power signal between the die and the substrate. The integrated device may also include a dielectric layer located between the heat-dissipation layer and the substrate, and a solder-resist layer located between the die and the heat-dissipation layer.

An apparatus includes a two-terminal MLCC. The two-terminal MLCC includes a conductive layer, where the conductive layer includes at least one slot. The apparatus may also include a second conductive layer that includes at least one slot and an insulating layer that separates the two conductive layers. In one example, a first (e.g., positive) terminal of the two-terminal MLCC is formed by a first set of plates, where each plate in the first set includes at least one slot. A second (e.g., negative) terminal of the two-terminal MLCC is formed by a second set of plates, where each plate in the second set also includes at least one slot. The first set of plates and the second set of plates are interleaved, and each pair of plates is separated by an insulating layer.

Some implementations provide a semiconductor package structure that includes a package substrate, a first package, an interposer coupled to the first package, and a first set of through via insert (TVI). The first set of TVI is coupled to the interposer and the package substrate. The first set of TVI is configured to provide heat dissipation from the first package. In some implementations, the semiconductor package structure further includes a heat spreader coupled to the interposer. The heat spreader is configured to dissipate heat from the first package. In some implementations, the first set of TVI is further configured to provide an electrical path between the first package and the package substrate. In some implementations, the first package is electrically coupled to the package substrate through the interposer and the first set of TVI. In some implementations, the first set of TVI includes a dielectric layer and a metal layer.
