    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: Microelectronic assemblies including photonic integrated circuits (PICs), related devices and methods, are disclosed herein. For example, in some embodiments, a photonic assembly may include an integrated circuit (IC) in a first layer, wherein the first layer includes a substrate having a first surface, an opposing second surface, and a lateral surface substantially perpendicular to the first and second surfaces, wherein the substrate includes a waveguide between the first and second surfaces, and wherein and the IC is nested in a cavity in the substrate; a PIC in a second layer, wherein the second layer is on the first layer and an active surface of the PIC faces the first layer, and wherein the IC is electrically coupled to the active side of the PIC; and an optical component optically coupled to the active surface of the PIC and the waveguide in the substrate at the second surface.

    摘要: In an optical circuit, a substrate can define a cavity that extends into a substrate front surface. A sidewall of the cavity can include a substrate optical port. An optical path can extend through the substrate from a connector optical port to the substrate optical port. A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) can attach to the substrate. A PIC front surface can include a plurality of electrical connections. A PIC edge surface can extend around at least a portion of a perimeter of the PIC between the PIC front surface and a PIC back surface. A PIC optical port can be disposed on the PIC edge surface and can accept or emit an optical beam along a PIC optical axis. The PIC optical axis can be aligned with the substrate optical port when the PIC is attached to the substrate.
