Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards techniques and configurations for formation of a dielectric with a smooth surface. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a dielectric with first and second surfaces, a conductive feature formed on the first surface, and a laminate applied to the second surface, curing the second surface while the laminate remains applied, and removing the laminate. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
A hybrid pitch package includes a standard package pitch zone of the package having only standard package pitch sized features that is adjacent to a smaller processor pitch sized zone of the package having smaller processor pitch sized features. The package may be formed by obtaining a package having standard package pitch sized features (such as from another location or a package processing facility), forming a protective mask over a standard package pitch zone of the package that is adjacent to a smaller processor pitch sized zone on the package, and then forming smaller processor pitch sized features (such as contacts, traces and interconnects) in the smaller processor pitch sized zone at a chip fabrication processing facility. The smaller processor pitch sized features can be directly connected to (thus reducing the package connection area needed) a chip or device having processor pitch sized features (e.g., exposed contacts).
Abstract:
Microelectronic substrates having copper alloy conductive routes to reduce warpage due to differing coefficient of thermal expansion of the components used to form the microelectronic substrates. In one embodiment, the conductive routes of the microelectronic substrate may comprise an alloy of copper and an alloying metal of tungsten, molybdenum, or a combination thereof. In another embodiment, the conductive routes of the microelectronic substrate may comprise an alloy of copper, an alloying metal of tungsten, molybdenum, or a combination thereof, and a co-deposition metal of nickel, cobalt, iron, or a combination thereof. In still another embodiment, the copper alloy conductive routes may have copper concentrations which are graded therethrough, which may enable better pattern formation during a subtractive etching process used to form the copper alloy conductive routes.

Abstract:
Embodiments include semiconductor device packages and methods of forming such packages. In an embodiment, the package may include a die-side reinforcement layer with a cavity formed through the die-side reinforcement layer. A die having a first side and an opposite second side comprising a device side may be positioned in the cavity with the first side of the die being substantially coplanar with a first side of the die-side reinforcement layer. In an embodiment, a build-up structure may be coupled to a second side of the die. Embodiments include a build-up structure that includes a plurality of alternating layers of patterned conductive material and insulating material.
