Techniques and mechanisms for providing precisely fabricated structures of a semiconductor package. In an embodiment, a build-up carrier of the semiconductor package includes a layer of porous dielectric material. Seed copper and plated copper is disposed on the layer of porous dielectric material. Subsequent etching is performed to remove copper adjacent to the layer of porous dielectric material, forming a gap separating a suspended portion of a MEMS structure from the layer of porous dielectric material. In another embodiment, the semiconductor package includes a copper structure disposed between portions of an insulating layer or portions of a layer of silicon nitride material. The layer of silicon nitride material couples the insulating layer to another insulating layer. One or both of the insulating layers are each protected from desmear processing with a respective release layer structure.

A process of forming a through-silicon via (TSV) in a die includes forming a movable member in the TSV that can be actuated or that can be a sensor. Action of the movable member in the TSV can result in a logic word being sent from the TSV die to a subsequent die. The TSV die may be embedded in a substrate. The TSV die may also be coupled to a subsequent die.

A process of bumping a die backside includes opening a recess in a die backside film (DBF) to expose a through-silicon via (TSV) contact in a die, followed by filling the recess with a conductive material that contacts the TSV contact. Added solder is coupled to the conductive material at a level of the DBF. A subsequent die is coupled to the first die at the added solder to form an electrical coupling consisting of the TSV contact, the conductive material, and the added solder, an electrical bump coupled to the subsequent die. Apparatus and computer systems are assembled using the process.

摘要:
This invention relates to inductive inertial sensors employing a magnetic drive and/or sense architecture. In embodiments, translational gyroscopes utilize a conductive coil made to vibrate in a first dimension as a function of a time varying current driven through the coil in the presence of a magnetic field. Sense coils register an inductance that varies as a function of an angular velocity in a second dimension. In embodiments, the vibrating coil causes first and second mutual inductances in the sense coils to deviate from each other as a function of the angular velocity. In embodiments, self-inductances associated with a pair of meandering coils vary as a function of an angular velocity in a second dimension. In embodiments, package build-up layers are utilized to fabricate the inductive inertial sensors, enabling package-level integrated inertial sensing advantageous in small form factor computing platforms, such as mobile devices.
