A power shunt for use within a semiconductor device of a type having a motherboard and an integrated circuit package electrically coupled to the motherboard and of a type having a spaced portion located between the motherboard and the package. The power shunt comprises a capacitor within the spaced portion between the motherboard and the package of the semiconductor device. The capacitor includes a conductive layer of a first type, a conductive layer of a second type, and a dielectric layer that electrically isolates the first type conductive layer from the second type conductive layer, wherein said first type conductive layer and second type conductive layer form a conductive bridge between the motherboard and the package. The arrangement of the capacitor fulfills the dual function of providing decoupling capacitance with the capability of supplying an additional path of current between the motherboard and package to the die load 16.

A socket and fabrication method provide enhanced performance. The socket includes a base, and a plurality of signal contacts disposed within the base. A grounding fence is also disposed within the base such that the grounding fence laterally isolates the signal contacts from one another. The use of a grounding fence therefore enables elimination or significant reduction of ground contacts and therefore provides more signaling opportunities for a given amount of real estate.

摘要:
To accommodate thermal stresses arising from different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of a packaged or unpackaged die and a substrate, the package incorporates two or more different interconnect zones. A first interconnect zone, located in a central region of the die, employs a relatively stiff interconnect structure. A second interconnect zone, located near the periphery of the die, employs a relatively compliant interconnect structure. Additional interconnect zones, situated between the first and second interconnect zones and having interconnect structure with compliance qualities intermediate those of the first and second zones, can optionally be employed. In one embodiment, solder connections providing low electrical resistance are used in the first interconnect zone, and compliant connections, such as nanosprings, are used in the second interconnect zone. Methods of fabrication, as well as application of the package to an electronic assembly, an electronic system, and a data processing system are also described.
