    Abstract: Flexible under-bump metallization sizes and patterning, and related integrated circuit packages and fabrication methods are disclosed. First under-bump metallizations (UBMs) of a first, larger size and pitch are provided in the die and coupled to corresponding metal interconnects in the package substrate. One or more second UBMs of a second, reduced size UBMs can also be located in the core area of the die. This provides greater flexibility in the design and layout of the die, because different circuits within the die (e.g., I/O related circuits) may only require coupling to smaller size UBMs for performance requirements and thus can be more flexibility located in the die. Also, to further reduce pitch of the second, smaller size UBMs, one or more of the second, smaller size UBMs can be formed as oblong-shaped UBMs, which can still maintain a minimum separation based on metal interconnect pitch limitations in the package substrate.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) package is described. The IC package includes a die, having a pad layer structure on back-end-of-line layers on a substrate. The die also includes a metallization routing layer on the pad layer structure, and a first under bump metallization layer on the metallization routing layer. The IC package also includes a patterned seed layer on a surface of the die to contact the first under bump metallization layer. The IC package further includes a first package bump on the first under bump metallization layer.
