    摘要: A z-disaggregated integrated circuit package substrate assembly comprises a first substrate component (a coreless patch), a second substrate component (a core patch), and a third substrate component (an interposer). The coreless patch comprises thinner dielectric layers and higher density routing and can comprise an embedded bridge to allow for communication between integrated circuit dies attached to the coreless patch. The core layer acts as a middle layer interconnect between the coreless patch and the interposer and comprises liquid metal interconnects to connect the core patch physically and electrically to the coreless patch and the interposer. Core patch through holes comprise liquid metal plugs. Some through holes can be surrounded by and coaxially aligned with magnetic plugs to provide improved power signal delivery. The interposer comprises thicker dielectric layers and lower density routing. The substrate assembly can reduce cost and provide improved overall yield and electrical performance relative to monolithic substrates.

    摘要: Technologies for testing integrated circuit components with liquid metal interconnects are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a bed of nails adapter can mate with an integrated circuit component with liquid metal interconnects. The nails pierce a sealing cap layer that seals the liquid metal interconnects, electrically coupling the nails to the liquid metal interconnects. An underside of the bed of nails adapter has an array of pads that are coupled to the nails. The array of pads may be used to mate the bed of nails adapter and integrated circuit component with several land grid array sockets for testing of the integrated circuit component. As the bed of nails adapter does not need to be removed as the integrated circuit component is moved to a new land grid array socket, the number of times the sealing cap layer is pierced by nails during testing is reduced.

    摘要: Technologies for integrated circuit components with liquid metal interconnects are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a bed of nails socket can mate with an integrated circuit component with liquid metal interconnects. The nails pierce a foam cap layer that seals the liquid metal interconnects, electrically coupling the nails to the liquid metal interconnects. A fabric layer adjacent to the foam cap layer helps secure the foam cap layer, preventing small pieces of the foam cap layer that may be dislodged during repeated insertion into a bed of nails socket from becoming separated from the foam cap layer. The fabric layer can provide additional benefits, such as removing more of the liquid metal from the nails when the integrated circuit component is removed from the bed of nails socket.
