Abstract:
Architectures and processes for redistribution layers in a dielectric cavity to enable an embedded component in semiconductor packaging. The architectures pattern redistribution layers (RDL) over a thick seed and remove dielectric material from the RDL conductive contacts to create the dielectric cavity. The architectures enable 2-sided connections for embedded components in the dielectric cavity with minimal disruption to existing process infrastructure. Such an approach can be used not only for integration of photonic devices, but also for any semiconductor packaging requiring dual sided connection within a dielectric cavity.

Abstract:
To improve coupling reliability in flip chip bonding of a semiconductor device. By using, in the fabrication of a semiconductor device, a wiring substrate in which a wiring that crosses an opening area of a solder resist film on the upper surface of the wiring substrate has, on one side of the wiring, a bump electrode and, on the other side, a plurality of wide-width portions having no bump electrode thereon, a solder on the wiring can be dispersed to each of the wide-width portions during reflow treatment in a solder precoating step. Such a configuration makes it possible to reduce a difference in height between the solder on each of terminals and the solder on each of the wide-width portions and to enhance the coupling reliability in flip chip bonding.

Abstract:
A flip chip interconnect of a die on a substrate is made by mating the interconnect bump onto a narrow interconnect pad on a lead or trace, rather than onto a capture pad. The width of the narrow interconnect pad is less than a base diameter of bumps on the die to be attached. Also, a flip chip package includes a die having solder bumps attached to interconnect pads in an active surface, and a substrate having narrow interconnect pads on electrically conductive traces in a die attach surface, in which the bumps are mated onto the narrow pads on the traces.
